1. "I'm packing my suitcase..." is canceled. Yeah!

2. no long queues at the counter, no endless waiting for the delayed plane - time that can be put to other wonderful uses. That's true relaxation.

3. no unsavory sights at the pool or on the beach, no people bawling at night. The question "Is that really necessary?" can simply be crossed out.

4. the Prosecco you like best is available at home, cheap and well chilled.

5. no annoying entertainers - you can simply save yourself the embarrassing act.

6. watering the flowers and emptying the letterbox regularly - you don't have to look for anyone to do it. And there's no need for a thank-you gift.

7. instead of a long flight with thrombosis stockings, sleep in and then put your feet up. That's the way to live.

8. no nasty critters far and wide - at least no cockroaches or poisonous spiders.

9. sunburn on vacation and no quark within reach - the suffering begins. At home, you know exactly where the shady spots are.

10. and last but not least: You always sleep best at home.
