I wanted a vacation.

When the kids treat you with disrespect, throwing snowballs at you while you're not looking and laughing maniacally when their projectiles cause the snow to fly everywhere, it's time for a change of pace.

I wanted a vacation.

I wanted a vacation.

But when my flight got diverted to Honolulu, that was simply the last straw.
