I'm going to have a vacation!
I'll leave all my housework behind,
And not have to do any cooking;
I'll forget all the daily grind!
I'll bask in the sunshine—don't worry!—
And so all the things that are right;
I'll enjoy myself every minute,
And I'll go to a dance each night!
But when my vacation is over
And I pack my glad rags, alone,
I'll be happy—so very happy!—
For, really, there's no place like home!
~Gertrude Tooley Buckingham, "My Vacation," 1940s
We are back home........but I think upon Waimea Bay and the time we spent swimming and basking in the sun there.
