For as long as I can remember, I take one week every year and take a solo vacation. I used to camp at a remote site, but as I got older and the bugs/ticks seemed to get worse, I find myself shying away from the thin protection of a tent and now instead rent a small cabin on near a lake with good hiking trails.
This is something that I’ve always been upfront with girlfriends, wife, and now girlfriend again.
In my current job, the pace picks up to a nearly manic level shortly after July 4th and stays that way until about Thanksgiving; this is my was of completely destressing. For the most part I cook my meals over fire and walk thousands of steps per day. Cigars and bourbon typically end my evening before I go to bed and do it all over again the next day.
By Thursday or Friday I’m ready to come home and merge back into civilization again, but there is something to be said for not having to be accountable for anyone else’s concerns or timeframes for that week.
Surely I cannot be the only one?
