Time for another break

I spent a bit of time on the phone this afternoon. I was making arrangements to rent a car in The Bahamas . Cat Island in the Bahamas to be exact. I'm making a triumphant return to the land that time forgot in about two weeks and I am so due for a break I can't stand it. Being on the phone with somebody over there today made my upcoming long weekend away seem a lot more real. That's mostly because trying to conduct anything resembling a business transaction on the Out Islands is an exercise in letting go of my American expectations. And for me, that's an important first step in getting out of my own way.

Dealing with this sort of stuff over there starts offevolved out like giving a cat a tub but finally I supply in and allow it just take place. It's humorous, a cellphone interplay like the one I had this afternoon with an American car condo organisation would have had me unleashing the wrath of Khan. But because it was with Mrs. Gilbert of Mr. Gilbert's Motor Inn and Car Rental, By the time I stated goodbye I become calmer than I'd been in months. I'm nonetheless not quite sure I finished my automobile condo reservation but it will all exercise session. See? A calm that borders on Zen and that was simply from a smartphone call.

Cat Island is set 40 miles lengthy and a mile extensive. Its population hovers around 1000 human beings. It sits in the Atlantic Ocean about 350 miles southeast of Key Largo. It is the definition of secluded and quiet. There aren't any phones, no internet get right of entry to, no TV, and many others. Just miles of empty beaches and blessed solitude. Me, a couple of friends, John Steinbeck and I plan to do a little severe battery recharging.

This has nothing to do with kitchen design, indoors design or sustainability and that is exactly the point. Everybody wishes a getaway.
