| 0:00.0 | Last day of your vacation, you're sitting on the beach, maybe on a dock with your toes dipped into the water, |
| 0:04.8 | or maybe in front of a campfire, you know, watching those glowing embers die down as a fire dies away. |
| 0:10.4 | And you reminisce the past few days or weeks that have made up your vacation. |
