Vacation. That’s a funny word, isn’t it?
If you’re like me, you hear your friends say they are going on a vacation and suddenly your brain is on a white-snow station.
“A vacation?” you ask. “You mean, a movie at the theater? Or, are you sleeping in on Saturday?”
That’s when your friend looks at you funny. They are going a-w-a-y. Like, to Hawaii. Or Brazil. Or the Arctic.
