Trips to the Beach
Oftentimes, when you hear the word “vacation” you instantly think of a white sand beach. The waves lapping against the shore as the wind gently sways the neighboring palms.
Those who relish in this type of vacation are people looking to relax, unwind, and not have to think about anything but when to re-apply the sunscreen and what magazines to read while they lounge. Those who might hate this type of vacation (me) are travelers who get bored easily, prefer a destination with intellectual stimulation, and who have the attention span of that dog from the movie Up (squirrel!!!)
Pros
-
Recharging the ol’ battery in a tropical paradise
-
Great seafood and delicious drinks with little umbrellas
-
A fabulous tan that’s the envy of all your friends upon your return
Cons
-
While beautiful, there’s only so much you can do (so you’d better settle in)
-
Bugs the size of a dinner plate, and humidity that wreaks havoc on your hair (unless you’re one of those fortunate few whose hair looks amazing no matter where you go… I am not this person)
-
Sand in places you should never get sand, and which you’ll continue to find in your belongings for weeks
