Honestly, I can't say I've looked forward to a vacation more than this one. The last time I found myself in Mexico I has just been fired. That was far from relaxing and no matter how strong my support system was there was very little that could be done for me to actually drop my guard and enjoy myself. There isn't much in my life that has affected me like getting canned. It sucked. And since then there have been short trips here and there but nothing that would constitute a true vacation. And this time I left behind a job that could hardly bear to let me go away for 8 days. What a difference. Times always get better. And this one is going to be one for the books.
