As I mentioned, I've never had a real vacation, certainly not one since I became a legal if not mental grown-up. I would be relaxing, getting away from my job. And I don't see the point of traveling 2K miles just to relax, I can do that up here and still be close to my stomping grounds and creature comforts.
Discussing this with my teacher, she was pretty ambivalent, but she thought my problem was simple. I need something not only worth seeing, but worth going to see. It's possible I'm in a sort of funk. I have no idea what is at Harry Potter World, so I don't know if it would be better than Great America in my own backyard. Then again, considering I haven't been there in a while, either, it's possible I need something more than a theme park to get my attention. Nicole Bobek, a former Chicagoan who was a figure skater before things went really really wrong spends part of the year in Florida, but I believe that would be considered "stalking". I'm a fan, but I don't want to creep her out. Miami is home to the biggest ska scene in the US, but I think the rudies would take one look at me and think I was a poser or something else that screamed "not one of us."
In Sound Waves #5 and 6, Rhapsody and Melody stumble across an undersea home where The Professor and his family live. Jules' Undersea Lodge (yes, named for Jules Verne) is a former marine lab in the Emerald Lagoon, Key West, that's been repurposed into a hotel of sorts. Access to the hotel proper requires you to be a certified diver, you swim to get there (which means I really need to get my ass in shape). It's 30 feet under the ocean surface. You're looking at about $550 a night. No hotel offers THIS ocean view....
The only thing I can't figure out is how I would get pizza delivered. But I might not care. I can see myself at one of the benches in the background and just watching for hours.
Personally, I'm glad I don't have to clean the windows in these places.
