My vacation. It's coming up soon and I really can't wait for it. I want to leave this accursed place I call hell and escape into paradise. Only thing is: where?

I wake up in bed, just a tanktop and pants. My routine is fairly decent; wake up, stay in bed for another hour or so (because I'm lazy) until my hunger motivates me to get out, stay in my pajamas and whip up something edible.

Today's meal is a simple omelet. Good thing my stomach is aching for this, I accidentally made it a bit bigger than I anticipated. I opened the fridge with my foot while trying to get my food on my plate and....SUCCESS! It safely landed on its white porcelain platter and I got to the fridge before the door closed on me! I deserve some Sunny D. I took it out and poured me a glass of it. I enjoyed my breakfast, but then something came across my mind.

"I need a vacation. I want to see more than just what I'm witnessing."

I sighed and went to check on the mail. It was a gorgeous Wednesday morning. Sun beaming straight down on the gravel before my feet, birds chirping and singing, distant screams from children having fun...relaxing, sure. But I want to experience more. I look at the various envelopes and advertisements and etcetera and that's where I stopped everything.
"Your perfect vacation is waiting for you here!" I read the catalog. "Best deals at Ooshima's Inn! Come visit us at Waterfront Village!"

I can't believe it...my very own vacation, literally screaming at my face, begging for me to take this chance. I'm stupid if I left this alone. I thought of all the wondrous happenings that I could be doing. Relaxing on a beach, go to a couple of festivals, meet new friends. I don't know why I'm still thinking about this; I could be there sooner if I act now!

"Heh, Waterfront, eh?" I look up at the sky. "Add one more to your population!"
