What people failed to mention is when one person wants to travel on occasion in retirement, and the other (husband) wants to stay home! It certainly isn't a vacation at home: cooking, cleaning, the market, the laundry, etc. Everyone needs a break from the routine. I'm already feeling bored with the housework-routine!JoansGatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14900008104667163432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-54525476927568875432014-10-01T13:55:10.171-04:002014-10-01T13:55:10.171-04:00I just found this site and I love it.

They aren't truly vacations but we are creatures of habit, aren't we? So we call them "vacations" because that's what we called them for just about all of our lives, it's what our parents called them (around us anyway) too. and, so, we continue the tradition. <br /><br />As I write, I am contemplated our annual trip to San Diego in early April.Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752593286034877538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-50216577734072637352014-03-20T08:51:14.771-04:002014-03-20T08:51:14.771-04:00To me, vacation means no stress.
