Both are near and dear to my heart- yet completely different experiences.
Travel: venturing to a unique destination with the purpose of seeing the sights. Â It can be “work”- studying guide books in advance, learning a few keys words of the language, and following an itinerary. Â Travel is both thrilling and exhausting!
Vacation: often it means returning to a favorite location. Â It’s easy – you know the best shops and restaurants. Â There may be a routine, but it probably involves a bike ride after breakfast. Â No real schedule- except for dinner reservations or a tee time.
For so many families, our island is the ideal “vacation”. Â I understand 🙂
