Best vacation ever for the harassed and the harried

• Stay back home while you pack off the pack - family, pets, staff et al - to their dream holiday destinations.
• Dismantle the doorbell, disconnect that phone and silence that cell phone.
• Soak in aromatic hot baths with candles and have soft music for company.
• Enjoy your breakfasts, seated.
• Devour Chinese takeaway off paper plates and glug bubbly straight from the bottle.
• Romp around braless and barefoot in your most threadbare PJs.
• Watch your favourite whodunit undisturbed and holler 'Eureka' each time you catch a nuance you had missed.
• Meow like a REAL cat as you stretch out on the beach or by the pool.
• Splurge at your favourite store till you go weak-kneed and cross-eyed.
• Sleep early, wake up late.
• Rest. Replenish. Arrange. Rearrange.
  No suitcases, no destinations, no take-offs, no touchdowns; no grooming, no polite conversations; no itinerary, no agendas. Just home alone. For seven whole days. Imagine the luxury.
