I’m off on another vacation to somewhere I’ve never been – this time it’s Denver. I find travel stimulates my creativity, especially when I’m doing things like riding a steam train and visiting a historic house museum.

Even if you can’t afford to go to Denver (or South Carolina if you already live in Denver), you can take a little time to yourself to recharge your mental batteries.

Try a weekend at a local hotel if you can’t travel far. Or even a “Spa Day” where you pamper yourself would work fine. The idea is to get away from it all for a little while. Shut off the daily worries and stresses and let your brain unwind.

I’ll post some photos of my journey on the photo pages.

What do you do to unwind and recharge your batteries?

I feel a bit like I’m on Gilligan’s Island — we drove for 30 minutes once we left the main road before we even got to the beach part of the island, and the beach house has a TV that plays only sports, no internet at all except on your 4G devices, and only a minuscule grocery store stocked with staples.

Of course, this means that I should be able to get the rest of the damn book finished, right? This is assuming I can avoid the rest of this crazy lot who want to spend their vacation driving around looking for Walmart and WiFi signals! I shall persevere, however, despite the slight discomfort of typing on an open deck in the dewy pre-dawn, with only the gnats for company.

I’ve seen a grand total of 4 people who are not in our party so far … I think we might just come back here next year.
