HODOPHILES AT HOME!

HEDGING ON MONOPHOBIA
A Hodophile is someone who loves to travel. That is an apt description for your intrepid trekkers here at Vacations From Home Central. Our adventures have taken us to quite a number of places near and far over the years and we get nervous when we aren’t planning for the next trip.

Blaise Pascal

Even being cooped up with the COVID pandemic didn’t stop us and we managed to hike in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee and travel to Sandals Jamaica South Coast, along with several day trips in our area.

But, now that we have this COVID nonsense behind us, empty dates on our calendar give us agita, and gasp, we were looking at one that stretched for several interminable months!

Mind you, it’s May 31^st and we’ve already traveled to Tenerife, Canary Islands, and Grenada, and we are sailing through the islands of Fiji in September.

MONOPHOBIA

You fair reader may accuse us of monophobia, which is the irrational fear of being alone. You may say take a “F-ing” breath already and relax. You may accuse us, wrongfully, of the inability to sit quietly in a room alone, to paraphrase the quote of the French philosopher, Blaise Pascal, who claimed all of humanity’s problems stem from this inability.

Who wants to sit in a room quietly, there’s too much to see out there?

FILLING THE TIME

St Mary's Nantwich, Chesire

So, confronted with “SPACE” we recently booked a trip in mid-June to Wildwood New Jersey for three days. We will get to NJ via the Cape May / Lewes Delaware Ferry after visiting friends in Delaware. Then in July we’re off to Colorado to visit family there. Christmas and New Year’s Eve will be with Janet’s English family in the lovely Chesire town of Nantwich. You haven’t lived until you danced in a cha-cha line at midnight as the bells of St. Mary’s church in Nantwich chime in the new year.

Don’t worry we’re already trying to figure out February 2023.

Thanks for reading.

Love Janet and greg
