Staycations, Nacations, and Stranger Danger

Hello folks, let’s chat…We’ve got tons of nekkid news to cover. For starters, the nacation is replacing the staycation. Staycationers have had their lips run out ever since it hit ’em that staying home and sleeping in your own bed is not a vacation, regardless of what you call it. As they said in their news release, “We were born at night, but it wasn’t last night.” True.

Supposedly, this summer is gonna be all about the multi-million dollar industry known as the nacation. Yep, nekkid vacations. Nacation lovers gleefully report that you don’t have to stress about what clothes to pack and those high-priced baggage fees are a non-issue. Granted, you do need to pack extra sun-block, which brings us to our next nekkid news story.

Recently, a man from North Carolina was all set to fly to Jamaica when he was told that his flight had been overbooked and he was officially grounded. He responded by stripping nekkid at the gate. I remain confused as to how that spells relief in these types of situations, but hey, at least they could see he wasn’t armed and dangerous.

Besides, he was headed to Jamaica. Perhaps it was a nacation and he decided on the spot to blend it into a staycation? One must consider all the angles. I learned that from Mama. She’s an expert at considering every possible scenario. Most of ’em fall in the “Someone is going to knock you in the back of the head if you don’t pay attention” file.

For instance, it worries Mama when I’m flying to a speaking engagement where I’ll be picked up by a stranger holding a sign with my name on it. She’s concerned that it could be a trap and no one will ever hear from me again.

“What exactly are you saying?” I asked her. “That someone would go to the trouble of finding out where I’m headed next and what flight I’m on, all to make a fake sign and kidnap me?”

Mama raised her eyebrows. “That’s exactly what I’m saying, Shellie Charlene. Stranger things have happened.”

She had me there.

Hugs, Shellie
