I Need A Vacation

During the week, I had some sort of mini-vacation that made me realise how much I want a proper vacation. I had some business to do in another city and had to lodge in a hotel over there. Even though I was still working, I felt relieved just being away from my house.

I wasn't doing any chores or making any meals. All I did was wake up, begin work, eat, continue work and attend to other activities. I loved being served breakfast, especially for the fact that I didn't have to think up the meals myself.

My favourite thing to eat at the hotel was this fried plantain and goat meat sauce. I liked it so much that I had eaten it almost every day. I'm not always lucky to get ripe, sweet plantains like this at my own place so this deliciousness was overwhelmingly good.

I also ate some fast food restaurant meals. This one here was from a restaurant in town. Initially, it was some really good rice that's different from the regular and I enjoyed it so much until I heard the bill. It suddenly didn't taste delicious anymore because my money buds are more sensitive than my taste buds.

I can't really describe how the rice tasted because it became less memorable but I did finish it though, to get the complete money's worth. Would I try it again? Yes. Overpriced food is less annoying when it's a vacation.

I'm home currently and I have no idea what we're eating this week. I couldn't meal prep over the weekend because I was on shift and now I'm just wishing I could go on a proper vacation for a week and not have to cook.

I'm thinking we should eat out this week but that's a lot of money and I'm maxed out for the month already. Anyway, I might just buy goat meat and make the sauce on my free day, hopefully I get very sweet plantains 🥺

Exploring and going to fun places during a vacation is great, but the major perks for me are the food and room service. What are yours?

Honestly, this feeling is heavenly especially when you needed it most! I am sure you'd have 100% attention to the work you went to do there.
Now, at home. I do not think you'd dare to eat out as much, else the corner of the eyes of men shall be upon you!😂

I am certain that is true. Well, enjoy home now that you've got the chance.

The exact type of life I want to be living..

By the way, that rice looks like firewood Jollof rice. It must have tasted really delicious. That turkey looks big and I hope it is not bone that it is filled with..

It's not jollof rice actually. It's a type of fried rice I think. It tasted different from the jollof and fried rice I'm used to. The turkey was biggg

The food must’ve been really good, that’s for sure. I thought that was jollof rice too until I saw your reply to starstrings. It would be a pity to be served mid Nigerian jollof rice that is even overpriced😌

I hope you do get that vacation though. Probably won’t happen this month since you said you were maxed out already for the month. Next month maybe. Tell me about it if you do hit the road:)

I wonder when this would ever happen 😄 It seems like such a luxury feeling at this point. But yeah, I look forward to it too

Those sweet plantains look really good 😋 I like the experience and just being away from home when I'm on a vacation. I'm not very picky with foods but I appreciate good foods when there is some. Silence and peace are really important to me as well so I don't really care much about other things as long as I have those haha

A week later and I can still taste them in my head 😄

This is very important. I mean, my house is already quiet but away from home quiet has a different feel, you know what I mean 😁

Billings everywhere 😄 if it's affordable, you should definitely give yourself a mini vacay before the real deal
