"Instead of sweating bullets in your plane seat, you can picture yourself on a tropical island"

But I HATE tropical islands. The worst kinds of vacations I've had were tagging along on a supposedly "relaxing" vacation to such places - and I nearly died of boredom. I can't stand doing nothing. If you want to lie around sleeping on the sand in the sun, you can do it without me. Picturing myself on a tropical island is a nightmare for me. I need to be doing, learning, seeing, and being entertained. Vegging out is a waste of time, I can do that when I actually NEED to sleep at times when I should be sleeping.

The world needs to stop using this "tropical island" imagery as the standard idea for a relaxing, soothing time - cos it's not. What if you're there by yourself and you're stranded?
