Sorry, Mom, Vacations Should be Fun

6:34 am Travel

I grew up watching my mother, a dedicated Type A personality, work herself into an exhausted heap trying to arrange our yearly family vacations.  That’s not my style.  I firmly believe that the point of a vacation is fun; so I turn all of the responsibilities over to my travel agent.  Although I do have to pack suitcases, my local travel experts do pretty much everything else.  They provide  tickets, an itinerary, and the guarantee of a smooth trip.  They are wonderful about choosing outstanding accommodations for me as well as recommending local attractions and restaurants.  With all respect to Mom, I think I’ll continue letting someone else plan the vacations.
