Beyond's Version of Philosophy

Is it called a vacation or a trip?

Scott says trip because taking trips is a lifestyle whereas a vacation just means you want to take a break from your life. Seems like a reasonable distinction to me. However after a summer of on and off rain and the last week feeling like December in Seattle with all the gray skies and poor weather, I am indeed ready for a vacation. In particular SUNSHINE!!!

I’ve never gone anywhere warm (unless you count the unfortunate trip to Orlando for a high school band competition. Yes I was a band geek and I’ve already heard all the jokes), but always said I would some day. One day Scott mentioned he wanted to take a full week off of work and had never been to Mexico. So I found some cheap tickets and we head out in October. Our luggage quota has to go to kites and boards so our clothing has to be light and compact to fit the carry on restrictions. To that end Scott is going to produce some new items including a dress and skirt for me.

So check back to see what clothing Scott designs and how it turns out. Also tickets are only cheap because it’s still hurricaine season in the Yucatan that time of year. I’m hoping for an uneventful trip but events mean stories so not all is lost provided you have a good sense of humor.

Stay tuned!
