It means opportunity !! It means choice !! It means you can sleep in and do nothing – Hallelujah!! It means you have the choice to go shopping, or the choice to have a day to yourself. That choice offers opportunity to go to the beach, visit a museum or take a long walk. It is freedom to do whatever you want to do on YOUR vacation! Please do not be one of those vacationers – or a general person in life – who “reads something into nothing” and hence, spoils the moment or the day. When it comes to vacations, holiday seasons, and everyday life, our basic communication starts with words. Here is a review of word-watch: 1) The words you choose. Are they appropriate, or may they be perceived differently than what you are trying to say? 2) Intonation: the way you say them. Pleasant words don’t count if the tone of your voice is sarcastic.
