Well, I hope all of you
out there in blog land like to read this silly travel blog as much as I like to
write it. VFH has been in “business” since 2009 and our travels near and far
have been extensive and I’ve cobbled our experiences and given lots of free
advice in VACATIONS FROM HOME. This is all simply for the thrill of
travel. We receive no compensation from any places recommended in the blog. We
are not moochers…er, influencers… Just a loving couple with a yen to see the
world.
Janet and I are retired.
She is officially retired. For me, as a freelancer in the television industry
for nearly 40 years, I will never “retire”, I just won’t answer the phone… not
there’s a lot of calls for work coming in these days.
MISSING BY SIX NUMBERS
Our travels are
supported through pensions, and we are smart and frugal when it comes to
choices in destinations. That money though will only take us so far and even
though we would really like to constantly be out there, somewhere, we simply
don’t have the means to always to be elsewhere.
The lottery isn’t cooperating with our travel plans. We keep missing the whole megillah
by six, sometimes seven, numbers. Nonetheless we toss a buck or two into those
large drawings, because, hey you never know. That is the extent of our
gambling.
WELL, WE CAN’T, WE WON’T
AND WE DON’T STOP
Never fear dear sainted
readers of this whimsy of a travel blog. We will continue to travel regardless
of our fortunes, and we will continue to post entertaining drivel and anecdotes
from the road, even as our belts tighten like tourniquets.
Your readership is greatly
appreciated, but if you’re so inclined you can help us here at VFH Central by
throwing us some money.
Soupy Sales
Now, this isn’t deceptive
like the Soupy Sales bit when he asked kids to go into their parent’s wallets
and purses to send him the green pieces of paper that had men with beards depicted
on them. (He claims he received $80,000!) No, we're going to be more up front about the request.
SHOW ME THE MONEY
There are several ways
to show your appreciation. You can always comment (favorably) on the blog, but
of course that won’t buy us a beer.
One way is to buy something on the Vacations From Home official online store. We offer T-shirts, coffee mugs, etc. Everything is priced
modestly, so I don’t make that much money on each item, but you will look cool.
There’s a link on the website, but here it is as well: VACATIONS FROM HOME STORE.
I also offer links to
my two self-published novels on the website, but here they are:
One is great for
leveling out your wobbly kitchen table…although you may need to rip out a few
pages to get it right.
The other one doubles as
kindling for the fireplace.
You need to decide
which is which.
For a limited time if you
bring your Gregory Dunaj novel over to the local gin mill and buy me a beer, I
will sign it for you at no extra charge. Heck, if you buy me a beer I'll sign any book.
PENNY NICKEL DIME QUARTER
Now, there’s yet
another way to keep us moving. We have just recently established a Venmo
account, and we are now accepting donations. Maybe you think the T-shirts are
ugly, or your kitchen table is perfectly fine, but you still want to help us
get out the door. Janet tells me everyone as a Venmo account. I just got mine.
So, here’s the QR code to link you to my account. Any donation amount will be
greatly appreciated, but even if you don’t feel the need to support your destitute
dilettantes, we will still be somewhere and telling you about it.
Btw: if you don’t want
to use Venmo or buy a book or T-shirt, write me @ greg.dunaj@yahoo.com
and I’ll tell you where to send the check (cash is preferrable).
