If you’re like me, you want to make your vacation time unique and memorable, but still have it retain the traditional joys that make vacations so much fun. So, I’ve developed the best way to fit your dream vacation into the most unlikely of places –
Your bathroom.
How to create a bathroom vacation:
The bathtub
A bathtub can be used as a pool, both cold and heated. With a pair of swim trunks (or swimsuit) and a pair of floaties, you can feel like you’re floating in a world class pool, as long as you keep your eyes closed and pretend the sides of the bath are other swimmers crowding around, or a harem of the opposite sex cradling you in some strange polygamous marriage ceremony.
Once drained, the tub becomes your bed, but a futuristic pod bed that will allow you to drift off to sleep with visions of being cryogenically frozen and thawed thousands of years into the future.
The sink
The sink is your water supply and the cabinets underneath make a great mini-bar, once cleaned of anything that might contaminate food products, like cleaning supplies and rat poison. You can use the basin as a makeshift bowl, freeing up precious space that is otherwise lacking in many bathrooms. Since it’s a sink, your bowl becomes self cleaning, draining the remnants of your food down the drain, where it may end up causing a clog, but probably not until after your vacation.
If you put in the plug, the sink is perfect for a miniature fountain, or bird bath, but be sure to use plastic birds to decorate it. I once brought in live pigeons and lets just say that frantic pigeons clawing at your face and a thick layer of bird-poop is enough to ruin even the nicest vacation.
The toilet
Most people wouldn’t see their toilet as a suitable vacation prop, but I am not most people. While it is invaluable in its normal capacity of collecting waste and vomit from late nights indulging in vodka from your sink mini-bar, it also makes a perfect whirlpool. Just make sure you clean it thoroughly after it’s more mundane uses.
All you have to do is stick one foot inside the toilet bowl and flush. Then close your eyes and imagine you’ve been granted access to the world’s smallest hot tub. The hot part may take a little work, but I’ve found heat packs duct taped to the inside of the bowl work wonders.
You can also pour a little shampoo inside and use the toilet to give yourself the most luxurious and unique hair wash you’ve ever experienced. It’s like a scalp massage and dipping your head in a clear mountain stream. You can also use the same technique to wash your face, but you’ll have to make sure you hold your breath.
See, your bathroom isn’t just for personal hygiene and drunken one night stands. It can be an adventure, as long as you don’t mind a small space and a little toilet water. The next time you want to go on vacation, go bathrooming. You won’t regret it.
I will never take bathtime for granted again. ❤
Bathtime should never be taken for granted. It’s a time to get clean, while setting all your old bath toys in death matches against each other.
Ahahaha. I love it. -salutes- May my rubber duckie die a hero!
I hate to say it, Car, but your recommendations all seem quite Rational to me…
I’m a really rational guy. It’s just my rational isn’t quite the same as other people. It’s like my brain ended up on the other side of the rational table, eating the plastic flowers.
“Most people wouldn’t see their toilet as a suitable vacation prop, but I am not most people” – no s–t Car.
Actually, there’s plenty of s–t, considering what you’re talking about. But a good scrub can make sure that it won’t get in the way of nice clean hair.
Gross
“but I am not most people.” no kidding? ha ha I’m glad that you aren’t.
Wait, what if I am most people? What if everyone is just me, changing clothing and rushing around at supersonic speeds?
I am like most people, that concept is beyond me. LOL
Oh my god. I just read this. Funny. I think I’ll think to camping though or maybe I’ll try kitchening…hmmm…
