What does it mean to be on vacation?
Some people go on trips, whether
in a car,
on a plane or train,
or on a cruise ship,
or do what some people call a staycation.
People go to other countries or other states, and
some just stay at home.
On a vacation one buys all kinds of trinkets and whatnot.
Some people learn about other cultures in many ways while on these vacations of just so long.
Always wondering what others think from other places.
Are you a tourist or homegrown?
What kind of vacation is more important to you?

Right now I do not get vacations. I am caring for my very sick mom. But, I wouldn't mind a staycation and let someone else take care of her for a week.
I like a staycation but at my own home. Not a fan of travelling, lol. Loved your poem!
I liked this, I really enjoyed the descriptions, especially the shopping ones - I do tend to shop on holiday!
