A Trip to Maui
When I was a kid, we never went on a real vacation. What I mean is we never went to an exciting place with the sole purpose of unwinding and having fun. Sure, we took little one- or two-day trips to amusement parks all within driving distance. That’s alright, but we never made it to Disney World or anywhere tropical. I suppose it was because for the first eight years I was an only child and money was an issue. Then once my brother was born, it was just a hassle to wrangle two kids.
