Upon returning from vacation, I solicited travel tips from my readers and shared a bunch of the stuff I saw/read/listened to on our trip to the Pacific.
I’m still recovering from a family trip to Hawaii. I survived a surf lesson and a tsunami! Watched a dozen sunsets. Built sand castles. Swam with sea turtles. Befriended lizards. Dodged roosters. Drank mai tais. Despite (or maybe because of) all that, I don’t think I had a single creative thought while I was out there, and my brains only came back to me once I returned the mainland. (I couldn’t help this trip but to think of Socrates, who was quoted by Seneca: “How can you wonder your travels do you no good, when you carry yourself with you? You are saddled with the very thing that drove you away.”)
