Wanted: Worry Free VayKay

I need a vacation. I mean a real one. One where my hubby and I aren't frustrated or arguing with staff of the resort. One where things go smoothly. I would love it to be a location that we could take the kids with us but still have the opportunity to have couple time daily. A place to have drinks on a beach or by a pool. A place to swim and laze in the sun or dance in the rain. A place that is quiet at some places for relaxing and that is bouncing at the places you want to party.

My head is aching thinking about this.

I need a vacation where my only concern is getting the children to listen and go to bed before 9pm. Where our only fear is the kids waking at 6am. Where our only problem is having too many places to choose from to eat at meal time. A vacation where staff don't ignore us, where they are happy to talk with us and make sure we're pleased with everything. I need some place that will make sure we're always happy. I need a place that is willing to bend over backwards to ensure that we have anything and everything we need, no bickering with us on the issues when we present them, just fix the issues. Or better yet, don't let the issues happen.

I need a place that when we get back I won't have to keep repeating the response "The kids loved it" when people ask how it was. For the real response is that the time was heartbreaking and not relaxing. We made the best of it. We tried to put on a happy face for the kids. But that's not the responses the one asking wants. The kids were content and at least we have that, so that is what they are told.

It's also required that the timing work with my treatments... I am getting behind on those enough already with having pneumonia twice in 6 months. So this is getting more difficult to think of a way this could ever work. Money is too tight for now, but we'll try to save. Maybe some miracle will happen and we can go sooner. Some major sale happens, perhaps. Until then, save, save, save. It's better to set aside five dollars and slowly make it than to not put anything aside at all.

But I really need a vacation.
