Always that nagging impolite question of why I never go on vacation. Why my family never go to another country and have a grand vacation? As if...
In all honesty, how many times did we move from one house to another in different locations? So many times! It's more like a very, grand vacation and it is very costly! Moving from different houses with all the personal belongings, furniture and appliances to bring in with us to the new home, the heavy lifting and carrying of those stuff that can put a strain on financial capabilities because if it happened every year or every two years changing new addresses, changing new cables, internet connections, hydro account and connections, the gas and mileages, the changing of vehicles, the many changes of relocating its more than expensive than having vacation in another country. If I have to calculate of all the expenditures of such relocating homes... we could probably own a house by now instead of just having a lease. But you know, maybe next time the scenery or view would be different and wont be the same. I don't know where is the perfect home.
Rental homes or renting a house in Canada is not cheap. Homeowners are paying low mortgages on their homes but renters or tenants pay higher rents. It is what it is.
We did had a vacation sometime in year 1994, 1996, 2005 out of Canada to another country. That time, airplane tickets were very expensive. One passenger ticket cost about $1,800 to $2,250 x 5. This time is much cheaper and we can't afford to go on vacation? Then we went on vacation sometime in year 2017, somewhere in Alberta. We rented two hotel suites for $260/night no continental breakfast nor brunch. Spent $3,000 for such vacation for 4 days. While at one of those motels with swimming pool, $130/night with free breakfast. Am I satisfied at the service of those hotels? NO. My daughter would rather not go on vacation. She loves her bedroom at our home more than ever. Maybe I'm autistic too that I love my own bedroom and my own bathroom. I love using my own towels and face towels. I want to use my own bedsheet, pillows and pillowcases and plushy, soft, comforters. As a matter of fact, I brought my own towels and huggable comforter for the long duration of our stay in that hotel. Fact of the matter is...that's the reason why I don't like going on vacation and using other people's toilets. maarte? Look no further, I am autistic! Now you know. You wont understand us. You wont understand me. Love me or hate me. Better hate me. Who cares right?
If you want to go on vacation that's fine. Rest assured that I wont be paying for your expenses and lavish lifestyles. Go where your legs and feet could wander. Go where your money can afford. You don't have to ask somebody when and where just because you can go cruising around the world and flaunt how rich you are and how unhappy you are. It shows when you are unhappy. No matter how many places and countries you go, went and see. It shows on your face! In your face!! I'm good in psychology so don't try to bluff. You could be my patient right now. LOL.
Truth is there is no perfect home, nor there is no perfect house! There's no perfect place and no perfect vacation place. Get over with it. Just be happy and be contented with who you are and what you can contribute as a human being. Be humble. Play with your rats again, desiderata.
