Perfect Vacations

I am just back from my 5 day break in the rockies. The mountains were rejuvenating. It was good. All vacations are good. But some are just perfect. and it's been a while since I have had one of them.

The last one was more than a year ago back. I remember the best ones - Goa, Karwar, Pondicherry, then Chennai-Pondicherry, Goa again, then Karwar again. And of course that eventful one to Dandeli where we had the most horrible yet the luckiest accident ever. But that story is for another day.

No rules. Big Ideas but little planning. All we did was drive, eat, drink, make fun of each other, argue, stay awake the whole night, sleep through the morning in seedy hotels, drink, discuss the world's problems and then come up with solutions for them, dream about vacations with women we liked instead of each other, drive more, drink again - you get the idea. At the end you think you didn't do anything worthwhile. But looking back now they were totally worth it. Those were the best vacations of my life.
