I've been working non-stop for the past year--never calling off from any of my jobs, leaving me emotionally and physically drained.
I could use a break from my mundane routine. A chance to forget about work for once and explore someplace new....and I decided to do just that!
The last time I left Chicago was nine years ago for a failed trip to Ireland (long story).
This time around I'm heading to the Bluegrass State for the next five days.
Kentucky here I come!
I'm excited and nervous and everything in between. Going on vacation feels so foreign to me. This is such a big step out of my comfort zone but I wanted to try.
Hopefully I get some much needed rest and relaxation. But also to see the sights, have F-U-N, and make friends along the way.
And who knows, maybe I'll even find love there.
To be continued.....

Yay! Good luck Dean! I really wish you the best on your trip to Kentucky! (By the way, EXCELLENT choice in music. Love the Go-gos.)
Yay! An adventure. An interesting choice. Keep us poted!
You deserve some time to relax and unwind.
I hope you get to spend some time in Louisville. I lived there for 8 years, and there are some fun things to do. Have a wonderful trip! You deserve it.
Sounds like you really deserve a holiday! I hope you have a fantastic time :o) I understand totally how hard it can be to step out of your comfort zone, but fingers crossed, it will be more than worth it just for the experience of seeing new sights and meeting new people ~ oh, and wishing you all the best on the love front too! :o)
I am excited about this trip! I really hope it works out for you. But if not, don't stress it, just call it a lesson learned.
make sure to get some fried chicken
This is great! Enjoy the vacation.
I'm looking forward to hearing about it and, if I know yom seeing some pics.
Oh this is fantastic news!!! Where in Kentucky are you going? I am sure it will be gorgeous at this time of year.
I can't wait to see what this vacation inspires in you!
Glad you are getting a break, you have certainly earned it.
OMG, Lived in Kentucky from 1979 to 1994. It's an amazingly wonderful place. Enjoy!
That is super, hope you really enjoy your time away, a break will do you good for sure. Look forward to hearing how it all went.
I hope it's a wonderful release,whatever you may find. Kentucky of all places!
Love in Kentucky?? Long distance relationships are EXTREMELY difficult (hopefully you realize that). Make sure you're not setting yourself up for a heartbreak!
Oh my goodness, you haven't had a vacation in how long??? Yes, by all means, you MUST go on vacation. Hope that it turns out well for you.
Phoenix!

Now I see why people go on vacation in the first place. It felt SO good to be away from things for a while.
