As much as I'd like to be taking my next trip in female presentation, I'll take it as a male because RQS is traveling with me. This is not the trip I would have made for a first choice, as I would have preferred to go somewhere new. However, RQS saw a bargain, and we jumped on it.
Going somewhere at the end of a season often means that many attractions, stores and restaurants that cater to tourists will be closed. It can also mean that one gets a chance to see what a town is like when most tourists are gone and only locals remain. To me, I've found that going somewhere off-season can be just as enjoyable as going to a place in-season.
Years ago, my late wife and I stayed at her boss' oceanfront house in Bridgehampton. It was Thanksgiving week, and we had the place to ourselves. All the rich people were gone, having vacated their summer digs for places in warmer climes. This left us enjoying the area, interacting with the locals. This was much more enjoyable than had we been there during the busy season. The year before XGFJ and I broke up, we traveled to Lake George and Bolton Landing for a weekend away from home. When we left Lake George for the Sagamore, we were able to spend a romantic weekend in the "North Country" unencumbered by throngs of tourists. These are the types of trips I enjoy most - trips where I can get away from the world and chill out.
Soon, I'll be on my next trip and I expect that RQS and I will be able to chill. Hopefully, she's enjoying it as much as I do....
