We had a long heart-to-heart on the way home from camping vacay, about how to help Hardi's stress level the rest of the year. He outlined which things about camping really do it for him, and it turns now that now that I'm so much fitter, I can incorporate a lot of those into "real life" without too much trouble. The result is that a portakitchen has taken up residence in the van (along with always-loaded camp chairs, etc.), and the electric blanket is all installed in the camper so we can sleep out even though the mountain nights here have already gone chilly.
Do YOU keep vacation alive once it's "over"? What does it for you, and how do you incoporate that in YOUR post-vacay life?
Vacation has become like a second annual New Year's for us-- taking stock, resolutions, etc.
