Wanderlust

I have a bad case of the wanderlust this week. Not really sure why, but I feel like I should be going somewhere; don't even know where. It's a restless feeling that serves up a heapin' helpin' slice of discontent with it. I don't like that. It's not about going somewhere, it's about going. It's something I've not felt in many years.

So where would you go for two weeks if time, money and responsibilities were non-issues?

I'd like two weeks in Merida, in a refurbished 200 year-old Colonial in El Centro, where I can drink beer and dance in the street in the evenings after laying in a hammock suspended over a pool in a shaded bower. Oh yeah. I'm there.

  1. I'd go where I always go when time, money and responibilitites are non-issues.

  2. Two weeks is really too long for me, but if time, money, responsibilities and physical condition were non-issues, I'd go back to England for a week or so to see friends and explore some places I haven't been to as yet. I found a site about this guy who drives people around in England in his Rolls wherever they want to go -- for a price, of course. I'll never drive in England again, so this would be perfect.

  3. I would hope I would do something like an eco-tour or yoga retreat.

    But then I remember, I am always doing something outside. I need a place to do nothing. Letting it all just come to me. I need a place where there are warm pools and umbrella drinks. I really just need a clean hotel. No kids clamouring around.

    Las Vegas sounds nice. Cheap, clean, lots of feather boas, and shiney things. We were just there last year, we saw Dita Von Teese do her act. It was pretty amazing.

  4. b.e.e: Now you're talking! I've never been to Key West, but it holds a great attraction for me.

    jpdeni: If you can get Lennon's psychedelic Rolls, I'll join you!

    Mrs. Hall: Yeah! A hotel with great room service and blackout shades. Definitely stay away from Circus Circus!

  5. Estes Park Colorado, 100° here, 76° there.. Lovely lake to boat on, cabins and National Forest park. Plus the beauty of the craggy side of the rockies.

  7. My friends say that I become a completely different person in Key West. I smile all the time (as opposed to my current 75%), I sleep less (while resting more) and I even walk differently. Much slower.

    I spent a month (!!!) on vacation there a few years ago and I wish it never ended.

  8. The idea of leaving it all behind to live in a small cottage in Key West is nearly irresistible. Somewhere just under my skin, a beach bum resides.
