What do you do to unwind?

I have been under a lot of pressure of late. I am badly in need of a vacation. Some high-voltage vacation!! :) I want to jump and run and wear myself so tired that I can shoot out the depression and the tension.

I know tension can take so much out of your otherwise great life. The worst thing about it is that it ripples out to every person you show it to. I dont want to be 'that' person. I am not that kind of a person.

So getting back to my vacation plans.. Oh ya.. I want to goto a place where there are a lot of people and whom you can go talk to easily. I mean thats not too much I am asking for. And I want to goto a place where life is simple. You wake up early, take a jog, wave to people on the way, grab a sandwich and come home. A long hot bath and you set out to explore the place.

Imagine a place like Italy. A suburb in Italy.. wow.. You can see the river from your balcony. Its so huge and magnificient that you feel that its going to devour you any moment. Creepers on your balcony's ramp.. Lush and green.. And then you watch old movies. All funny movies that you laugh your heart out. You forget that there is another demanding life calling you. Tell you what? Life is a lot better in our imaginations. :) Oh my god.. Just the thought of it makes me long for it.

I have been longing for it quite a while. Hope I get one soon. :)
