How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

The View From Here

in Travel on 03/16/17

There’s something to be said for a perfect ocean view.

In the morning, the sun greets you as it makes it grand entrance over the turquoise blues.

During the day; the sound of music and laughter floats up to your balcony from the pool below, begging you to hurry up and join in on the fun.

The beach calls, welcoming you to take a walk and splash in the warm waters.

As night falls, when it’s too dark to see the ocean that lies beyond, you can fall asleep lulled by the sound of waves crashing on the shore.  It’s hypnotic.

There’s nothing like a perfect ocean view.

The only problem?  Once you’ve been spoiled by that view…nothing else will do.

      The colour of that water …. sigh. I must say though that it is a pet peeve of mine when I hear the pool music in our room. LOL.

      Nothing better than sand under your feet, sun on your face and the smell of the ocean.

        Mother Nature keeps teasing us with nicer weather and then taking it away.

        A trip at this time of year really does help get through the winter. It just drags on forever!

      Just having returned from my own Mexico vacation – I can fully agree – once you’ve been spoiled with that ocean view, nothing else compares 🙂

      Hope you’re having a great holiday!

    Squee! It’s that time again — planning another #HomeExchange getaway!
Leaving the house behind and headed to Ontario cottage country. 🌲☀️
The hubby and I are planning a 7 night lakeside escape just a few hours from home, and honestly, this is where the girl math really starts mathing. After an expensive year, I’m extra grateful for our HomeExchange membership — and I love browsing all the gorgeous lakefront homes nearby!
