Fall asleep as we explore the funny (and sometimes very boring) history of vacation...or holiday depending on what side of the Atlantic you're on.
We've come a long way from servants and month-long train journeys...to flights costing $19.99, where your bag may end up in a completely different country for no apparent reason at all. But who took the first vacations and why? And how did holidays evolve to become a staple of modern society, in which we take a few weeks a year to escape to a tropical beach?
We'll discover this and much more tonight. So enjoy this bit of history, presented in a calming, funny fashion, and nod off with a few laughs along the way to dreamland.
This should not it be taken as an authoritative source of history. It's boring history, delivered in a satirical way that's soft and slow. Perfect to fall asleep with a smile on your face :)
