You’re on Day 3 of vacation, that delicious 
zone where you are 98% relaxed, and you’ve got more vacay ahead of you than behind you. You’ve slept late and enjoyed your coffee on your private balcony, from which you’ve spotted below…a hammock.
It’s now Number Two on Today’s To-Do List, right after you finish Number One—your coffee.
So you throw something on, run a brush through your hair, and off you go. The elevator drops you off in the lobby, you proceed to the grounds where you approach said hammock, you start to climb in, and then this happens…(see picture of woman falling out of hammock).
There’s an online publication called www.PureWow.com that I subscribe to, and I thank them for allowing me to use their one sentence of advice and their very instructive photo…(see picture of woman leaning back into the hammock).
And here is that one sentence: Stand at the middle of the hammock, walk backward, sit and swing your legs over.
That’s it!
Next time you’re about to mount a hammock, just remember these words and you’ll avoid cuts, bruises and even more importantly, embarrassment.
Do you have any Hammock Mishaps you’d like to share? Or even better, skip the awkward and uncomfortable stuff and tell us what your favorite vacation spot is.
