When you go on vacation you have to expect the unexpected. This I have now learned after our recent vacation this year. Leaving out of Kansas City headed to Florida, nothing but the sun ahead of us. We load up the family (three boys, my husband, and myself). Looking forward to a twenty hour drive I became excited. Driving straight through headed through Tennessee at four in the morning we hit some bad luck, a blown tire. So four hours later and a hundred and fifty dollars we were back on the road. Besides the kids whining in the back seat the drive had been fairly pleasant. Hours later we are going through Atlanta on Christmas Eve we began to hit more bad luck. The car began to overheat. I was in the furthest lane of a six lane freeway and couldn’t get out of traffic in time. We slept in the car through the night till the next morning we had blown a head gasket. We decided to leave the car behind and our friend came and got us. Needless to say by the time that we got there our vacation felt more like a nightmare but we still enjoyed Christmas on the beach!

Vacationing designates the present participle of vacation; it could be considered as the act of vacating something, or the act of taking a time away from work, or from any duty for recreation or for some rest or even for pleasure. The fact to take a vacation is an advantage sometime because after a break, we come back full of energy and full of new ideas and determination. In case of vacation without pay, the money lost by that time is not necessary Sometimes we need to pause or stop in order to go faster or to see better the direction where we are going on; it could be the common thought which says it is sometime better to reverse little bit or slow down little bit in order to go faster or to jump much better. At the other end, vacationing is not just an advantage; it could be also negative, when it takes too long without a good resolution or good plan to multiply the efforts; in this case, we could say the money that was lost and the time was just really profitable for the rest; when it was just for the rest then the purpose is achieved; another aspect when vacationing is the fact to let people miss you; the more they miss you they more they could sometime appreciate more your work specially when you were covering things up and your boss didn’t know you were doing extra things for him.
