Well, I escaped another family trip. It was chaotic, as always. My siblings were on my nerves. We went off course a couple of times, and then there was that hilarious incident at a gas station.

Vacation Mode: Activated (Don't Talk to Me)

My device is officially silenced/turned off/put away. Emails can wait until I get back. Social media will just have to do without me. If you need me, leave a message on my answering machine/in a bottle/with the voicemail fairies. Otherwise, consider this your official notification/warning/reminder: I'm out of office/gone fishin'/living my best life and will be back soon.

Sometimes, the best/ideal/perfect escape isn't a place/location/spot at all. It's a state of mind/feeling/perception. My happy place/moment/time is anywhere but here, a whimsical/fantastical/imaginary realm where stress/tension/worry melts away/into oblivion/like ice cream on a hot day. I picture a bustling joke travel sweatshirts city street filled with music, where time stands still. It's not about reality/escaping from life/finding perfection, it's about creating a sanctuary/building an oasis/dreaming big and letting that vision/imagination/fantasy fuel my spirit/soul/inner self.

You might end up with an interesting dish that you've never even heard of before.

One thing is for sure, it's going to be an adventure you won't forget!
