... taking a vacation in another century.
How would you have completed this sentence?
....Coming home to a family reunion.
like going home , but only slightly more cleavage , swords, and pipesmoke.
freeing my true self.
escaping from today
playing dress up!
forgetting all modern day problems.
going home and seeing all the relatives you haven't gotten to see in a while, but with much cooler clothing. :D
Also like escaping present reality into another much better reality. :D
My idea of happiness! Dress up ,make believe ,friends,laughter, music and booze!
going to Heaven - but with cleavage and booze!
...childhood, but for adults.
Just bigger and more expensive toys! ;)
from a very wise man:
"a 54 acre bar, and all my friends are here, and we're having a costume party!"
going back in time, and to the UK in one go!
.....walking thru your door at home after a hard day at work. You take a deep breath and say aloud "I'm home! YES!."
...walking into a gathering of a super-exclusive club where everyone knows the rules and how to behave--and being immediately taken into the experience and accepted, no matter who you are.
Finally........ exhaling
being home amongst a loving and fun family
coming home to where all the ones I love are, with the food that makes me smile and music that wrenches at my heart.
... being whoever I choose to be.
...getting one more chance to hold on to my sanity.
at last breathing a sigh of relief to be somewhere that makes SENSE. A place where I can dress as i feel most comfortable, and commune with like-minded spirits...
...keeping a secret, but everybody knows, so it's okay.
Does that make any sense?
yes! it's a meeting of the secret keepers... Makes perfect sense VIII!!
...freedom.
Realizing that you aren't the only one who knows they were born in the wrong era, and knowing that there is a place where you can exist as you should have, even if it's just for a short time
Your favorite novel is coming alive before your eyes.... and all of your friends are there to participate in the action!
Like a bad mistake has been righted.
... sigh ... it simply defies description ...
being a person you wanted to be, when you grow up!
... a break from today's world where it stops at the gates. A simpler, more elegant time. Encountering people with common interests.
being alive. Freedom if you will.
...going to the biggest, funnest, sexiest party ever.
... seeing an old friend.
Having all your favorite holidays and all your favorite people all at the same time.
Ferret
...living a life when times were simpler and far more fulfilling.
...being rewarded for behaving myself during my mundane life ;D

And you get to choose who you want to be.
I'm completely new to faires - attended my first last year, but have plans for a few more this year - but I knew the minute I walked in that it was exactly where I was supposed to be. I don't know much about how to act or what to do there, but I want to learn and after reading what everyone has said here, I hope to be met with the same open arms, patience, warmth and friendship. I can't wait to go now!
a family reunion where your family members all get along!
..the happiest place on Earth!
...coming home after a long vacation.
everything clicking into place... the sights, smells, & sounds. The ambiance reaches out to you, embraces you, and makes you feel welcome.
A great big yummy cupcake with PURPLE FROSTING!!!
...finally being where I belong...

...finally being where I belong...
Yeah...that may be it. I feel free and relaxed. I don't have to worry about politics or religion. I can have a beer at 10 am if I want.
Visiting a Renaissance Faire isn't like anything else. It is simply fun.
....love.
being at WestWorld at less than a grand a day!
...leaving my "merchant knarr" (some would mistake it for a "drakkar" (dragon ship)) tied up at the dock, and wandering into town to see if I can make any trades...or perhaps to see if I can intimidate someone into just giving me what I want.
...the best stress relief ever!
Nothing else on earth. It DOES feel like returning home.
...spending the day with great friends you just met.
.......a break from the everyday pace...........going back in time ;D
going back to your small home town where you know everyone, everyone knows you.
being in a world where you can simply be yourself, and not have to live up to the expectations of the mundane world.
a "bodicegasm"!
...going to a theme resort except you're one of the characters.
...celebrating my birthay every weekend for 2 months!
...letting the real me out to play!!
living a past life. ;D
(I haven't read all of the replies so if someone else said this...two thumbs up.)
Like coming home for the Holidays!
It's finding my happy place!
....the biggest and longest running party that I've ever heard of. And has actual music to boot!
Christmas in October (bonus if you go to Celtic Christmas! lol...)
stepping out of who you HAVE to be, to discover who you WANT to be.
