away time


the top ten ways you can tell a vacation is perfect

#10: you love the audiobook you listen to for 12 hours in the car
#9: a side trip off the beaten path yields a fabulous new shop that's just your style
#8: the sound of gulls mixes with the drone of the engines of lobster boats
#7: the red sox beat the yankees - twice!
#6: crabmeat rolls for lunch and lobster rolls for dinner
#5: you wake up in the early morning light, smile out the window at the boats and the fog, read a little bit, then go back to sleep - and dream
#4: goose grass greens and pretzel m&ms
#3: the hostess with the mostess may not understand the desire for quiet and solitude, but she sure does honor it!
#2: great finds at flea markets
and the number one way you can tell a vacation is perfect:
already, you can't wait to go back next summer!

Graciegreen: the book i listened to on the six hour trip was The Help, which i see you have already read! when i reached my destination, i started reading my print copy where i left off with the audiobook. by then, of course, i was hooked! i finished the book on vacation, left it for my hostess, then listened to my favorite parts (like the ball!) all the way home! i'm seeing the movie this weekend!!
