How To Plan Your Vacation In Lieu Of The Weather



To begin with check all weather stations that offer a long term prediction of the weather. Once this has been achieved disregard everything you have just read and wait until a week before your vacation.

When your vacation is but a week away look out of the window and pray that the weather is not like it is where you are if it is bad weather or hope it is the same as where you are if it is good weather.

If you are working to a timetable with your vacation, allow 24 hours for acts of God, an example of this would be spilling some ice cream down your favourite shirt/blouse and having to take the weight of the world onto your shoulders whilst choosing another shirt/blouse.

To avoid any undue stress always have a recording of whales singing nearby which you can play when needed to aid relaxation, avoid pulling hair out for that will ruin your vacation, especially if one happens upon a hairdresser's convention who have booked into the same hotel as you and your family. The future is uncertain, allow for all possibilities!

On the day of your vacation look out of the window and weep uncontrollably whilst praying to God that you do not end up in a week of rain when you reach your destination, or for those optimists amongst us, you may laugh with pure joy in the knowledge everything will be peachy when you arrive at your vacation destination. Take some tissues though, just in case.

And finally, once you are travelling to your well planned paradise, have fun. It is essential that you keep spirits high, even if the weather is bad on the journey, it might improve along the way.

The moral of this advice is never bank on the weather being ideal, it will always poke you in the eye with some windy rain if you do.
