Vacationing on an Island
Mohsen: I need to get off this Island. I’m getting Island fever.
Ella: We’ve only been here two days. Give it a chance. We’re here to enjoy a slower Pace of life, remember?
Mohsen: When you said we were going on an island vacation, I didn’t know we’d be so Isolated. There isn’t a Living soul within five miles!
Ella: This isn’t isolated; it’s Secluded. We have Privacy and Serenity. Isn’t that what we wanted?
Mohsen: I wanted a vacation with all of the Creature comforts.
Ella: That’s what we have, don’t you think? We’re staying in a very nice house.
Mohsen: Yes, but what about the creature comforts? I have no Internet access and no Cell phone service. This is what I call Roughing it.
Ella: We agreed that we both needed a little time away To unwind. The Whole point of this vacation is for us to relax.
Mohsen: I’m Cut off from civilization and I have no access to email and my favorite websites. What could be more Stressful than this?!
