Vacation Time

Artist: Cliff Richard
Title: Summer Holiday


We're all going on a summer holiday.
No more working for a week or two.
Fun and laughter on a summer holiday.
No more worries for me and you.
For a week or two.

We're going where the sun shines brightly.
We're going where the sea is blue.
We've seen it in the movies.
Now let's see if it's true.

Everybody has a summer holiday
Doing things they always wanted to.
So we're going on a summer holiday
To make our dreams come true
For me and you.

Tomorrow we are headed for an area called 'The Sunshine Coast'. However, this is the forecast:
Monday-Cloudy with sunny periods. 30 percent chance of showers early in the morning. 60 percent chance of showers late in the day. High 23.
Tuesday-Periods of rain. Low 15. High 19.
Wednesday-Showers. Low 13. High 17.
Thursday-Cloudy with 60 percent chance of showers. Low 11. High 17.

Oh well, I suppose it could have been worse. We could have been gone this past week during the heat wave (Yesterday was 36.3C/97.34F) I would have died from heat exhaustion, sightseeing outside. As it was we drove to Nanaimo to visit my mom and Baby Sister. A cousin I hadn't seen in 44 years (she was seven months old & I was 13 years old) was visiting from Ontario, with her husband and son. My cousin is a lovely person; very nice and friendly. Anyway, I'd better get busy on the laundry and packing now. If we stumble across a computer on our travels, I'll let you know how the trip is going.

Oh, that forecast certainly can turn plans a little dreary but, like you said, it may be better than scorching heat in some cases. Sounds like an interesting holiday, though. (I could use some time away...just away...
right about now, anytime would be fine.)
