Vacation Smorgasbord

I am embarking on my first ever two week vacation by and for myself. I took two weeks off from the hospital, and I am leaving at the end of the week. I won't be blogging much during that time. I hope to be away from anything Internet-ish.

I have checked out the options, and decided I will go do what feels right for each day. I will spend time in the mountains, fish, hike, and tan. I will attend a Shakespearean Festival and take in some plays. I will look at real estate in a beautiful mountain town we are thinking of moving. I will take photographs, see my kids if it works out, eat good food, watch some movies, read a book, and...who knows?

Its like a good-times buffet, or Smorgasbord. That seems preferable to me than trying to plan anything structured. I need choice and lack of obligation and schedule, what my life has been about for years now, usually someone else's obligations and schedule. Bring on the ambivalence and indecision!
