Well, I survived another family trip. It was chaotic, as always. My siblings were on my nerves. We went off course a couple of times, and then there was that hilarious incident at a gas station.

I'm drained, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. We have stories to tell.

Vacation Mode: Activated (Don't Talk to Me)

My device is officially silenced/turned off/put away. Emails can hold on until I get back. Social media is irrelevant for now. If you need me, leave a message on my answering machine/in a bottle/with the voicemail fairies. Otherwise, consider this your official notification/warning/reminder: I'm out of office/gone fishin'/living my best life and will be back soon.

There's No Comfort Like Escaping

Sometimes, the best/ideal/perfect escape isn't a place/location/spot at all. It's a state of mind/feeling/perception. My happy place/moment/time is anywhere but here, a whimsical/fantastical/imaginary realm where stress/tension/worry melts away/into oblivion/like ice cream on a hot day. I picture mountains covered in snow filled with music, where every day feels like a holiday. It's not about reality/escaping from life/finding perfection, it's about creating a sanctuary/building an oasis/dreaming big and letting that vision/imagination/fantasy fuel my spirit/soul/inner self.

Caution: May Spontaneously Discuss Travel Plans

I'm a total travel addict, and sometimes my imagination just wanders to amazing destinations. Therefore, be warned: you might find me suddenly babbling about my latest trips. I apologize in advance if it takes place during a important conversation, but I just get so excited about travel!

• Just a heads up: You've been warned

When you hand the lunch order over to a traveler, things can get pretty weird. They've probably got some own take on what constitutes a good meal, and they won't be afraid to order something completely out of the box. You might end up with a plate that you've never even heard of more info before.

One thing is for sure, it's going to be an experience you won't forget!

• Just make sure if they decide to order something that sounds
