I have yet to take a vacation outside of Canada and also outside of Ontario and Quebec. I do long to see Canada from one end to the other.

Jocelyne, yes, I think it’s important to see one’s own country. But ours is so large, we could literally go on vacations in new towns all over Ontario for the rest of our lives, and not run out of new amazing places to see. Of course, it’s nice to check out some warm places. But in the absence of huge international trips, small local ones are great too.

Shawn, these are great quotes if for no other reason than the resonating hummer that is in most of them which match real life experience. “A vacation should be just long enough that your boss misses you, and not long enough for him to discover how well he can get along without you.” is much more than an amusing observation, it is really wise advice.
The “sunburn at a premium price” quote is priceless and made me laugh, which, according to Milton Berle, was its own vacation.
Thanks

A vacation is a time to relax and enjoy some free time. It is a time to escape the stress of everyday life and relax the body and mind. My friends house was where I accomplished that peace of mind. The weather, surroundings, and feelings experienced were only some of the many wonderful things. It is one of the best vacation spots and a priceless experience to enjoy. My friends house was where the weather was beautiful. As the sun rose in the morning, the moist dew on each perfectly green blade of grass begins to evaporate. The fresh smell of air is something … ”
“ Breathtaking views at the point where the waterfalls hit the lake, fluorescent rainbows can be seen, each showing every colour brilliantly. In the lake, exotic and tropical fishes of all different colours swim about with no worries. The land is all a perfect shade of green and each flower is slightly different from the next, each possessing every colour imaginable and some never even thought of. I imagine myself laying in the middle of a green meadow surrounded by the sweet smelling flowers with the sun warming my skin and the ground beneath me. While I am in this place, nothing can bother me and I have not a care in the world. ”
Enjoy your day!
