I like to vacation in familiar places. We have a time share in Aruba and, at last count, have been back seven times (plus a few times before we got the time share). Our son and daughter-in-law, Jason and Alyssa have been with us seven times -- and their son, our grandson, Jackson, was with us for the first time (but certainly not last) two weeks ago.
Some people ask how you can go back to the same place time and time again. I love it. Get off the plane, pick up a car and it's like we never left. Don’t need GPS (not that it’s available) or even a road map. Know my way around and exactly what to expect. Very comfortable. Very relaxing.
Sure there are reasons to travel, “see the world,” and experience new things. However, I prefer to recharge where the only pictures I need to take are those of family and friends in familiar places.
