FF: Summer Plans

Words 100

β€œHow about a long relaxed vacation at a log cabin in the hills?” Dad asked.

β€œWow! Will there be any snow?” Rhea asked.

β€œYes. If you are willing to trek.”

β€œGreat.” Shreyas lit up.

β€œWon’t it be crowded in the summer?” Mom was doubtful

β€œNot at all.” Dad beamed. β€œIt’s far from the madding crowd.”

β€œMeaning I will have to cook.”

β€œI will cook. We all will.”

β€œAs if.” Mom snorted. β€œAll of you will sit with your phones….”

β€œOh there’s no phone or internet connection there.”

β€œWhat? Count me out.” Shreyas stood up.

β€œMe too.” Rhea said. β€œSorry Dad.”

So would you be willing to go for a vacation to such a place? Do let me know! Have a super day and week ahead.

    Cheers..

  18. I would love to go on a vacation like that, with no internet connection, but I can see where the kids would balk at it. I would still like to have some kind of emergency way to contact someone in case of emergency, but only for an emergency.

    1. You are so right! Actually, my husband and I had booked at a place where we later realized had no connection. It was a gorgeous retreat, but after a sleepless night, I canceled it, imagining our son not being able to contact us or vice versa πŸ˜…
