I've reached the perhaps sad state of fearing the "true" vacation I keep saying I need. In truth ... a whole afternoon at the beach? Ouch. I've got ants in my pants. ... Love the "trip" distinction.

Wow, I definitely relate to this. Vacationing is a skill I’ve never quite nailed, and I judge myself for it. Workaholism is a thing, and I have all the reasons to fall into it, via both nature and nurture.

I love the word ‘trip’ too, because at least it sounds like we’re doing… something! Hiking seems like a good middle ground.

Yeah, a "trip" is more workaday, and a lower bar than adventure, journey, sojourn, sortie, or what have you.
