I went to the Bahamas last week. It sucked.
It seems crazy, I know - but I realized something. The beach is where you go to escape. When you've been overworked and stressed out. When it's been cold and raining for months. When you want quality time with friends or loved ones.
I went to the Bahamas for no other reason than because it was free - I've got a month of unlimited flights on JetBlue afterall. There isn't much to do when you're at the beach alone and it's raining.
Vacation just isn't the same when you love where you live and what you do for a living. Especially when you don't bring along the people you care about.
Mark me down for buying into the fantasies of travel brochures. In the end, I really only love the idea of the beach.
