Some folks take long vacations lasting one, two or even three weeks. I can't get away for that long nor would I want to. I enjoy a short trip on a long weekend which I call a "Get Outta Here". It's like taking a cat nap in the middle of the day, just long enough to be refreshing and rejuvenating.
I have discovered that the secret is to:
1. Pick someone to spend time with that has similar interests and likes to have fun. Low maintenance friends or lovers are the best.
2. Pick a spot no more than four or five hours away so driving won't monopolize the trip, unless the drive to your destination is extremely scenic and part of the adventure (i.e, mountains, autumn leaves, river or lake view)
3. Let serendipity help you plan your day. I've learned from past vacations that plans set in stone are the best way to ruin your trip. Be open to what presents itself. You won't believe the great places you find by getting lost or taking a different route.
4. Resove to have a great time and enjoy the unexpected!
Now - Get Outta Here!
