Vacations are wonderful, especially the kind of vacations where you just relax and unwind on a beach somewhere. Those are my favorite kinds of vacations. Besides sitting on a beach, my favorite thing about vacation is not having to worry about a lot of the things that consume my time at home, like cooking. As much as I do enjoy it, it is really nice to have a week off from it now and then. Of course, I still want to eat really good food. Delicious food is an important aspect of my vacation too. Well, if your take on vacations is anything like mine, then I may have found your dream vacation.
