Queer Lodgings

 Tomorrow marks the day that the women of the Hobbit Hole embark on a weeklong vacation with Jessica. (Esther’s older sister) This will be the first time that we are going on a vacation together and I can guarantee that it will be quite the adventure. Sure, we’ve gone to Sudbury to visit our dear friend Kim, and we’ve adventured to Ottawa to visit Shannen, but we have as of yet to do anything longer than a weekend. Well, now we will.

 While planning for this trip I have come to realize that this will be the first time I have ever gone on a vacation on my own.. I mean, I’ve gone on plenty of vacations with my parents and even a few with just my dad to the Dominican; but growing up the vacations were always planned, and usually paid for, by my parents. When my dad and I went to the Dominican it was for a mission’s trip, so it wasn’t really considered a vacation. What I mean is that this is the first time I am planning, paying and executing a vacation all on my own. (Well, with Esther and Jessica, but people my age) It’s weird, but also exciting and gratifying. I am adult-ing and it’s pretty awesome. It’s gratifying in the sense that I have worked for this money, have been able to set it aside, and am now able to spend it on something that will be a great experience, not just some materialistic thing that may be forgotten about down the road, or worn out from wear.

 This vacation should be pretty fun, though we may have some queer lodgings, it is nothing that we can’t handle. . What I mean by queer lodgings is that we have 3 full-grown women who are all sharing a two bed room for a week. I’m sure it will all get figured out, and if not? Well, I am sure we will be too tired to even care after all of our village visiting, antiquing, spa-ing, nature exploring-beach days.

 With that being said… I think that it is time I go pack and have a chat with Esther about the plan for tomorrow, considering we do leave for our trip in under 12hours. Until next time, keep calm and drink tea.
