If it weren’t for the extra pound or 30 I’m carrying around, I might just consider taking a nakation this year.

Never heard of one?

It’s a vacation, only without clothes.

You’d be nekkid.

Don’t get your drawers in a panic (if you’re wearing any). Everyone else would be nekkid, too.

Seems nakations are all the rage these days. CNN — Curmudgeon News Network — said so. The reporter gives this quote: “‘… there’s the idea that if you’ve lost the shirt off your back, you should go nude,’ said Erich Schuttauf, executive director of the American Association of Nude Recreation.”

Director of nude recreation. Who knew?

I thought that was Hugh Hefner, who lost the shirt off his back years ago and has to go around wearing PJs.

Any-hoo, I think we Americans are more practical than Schuttauf thinks.

Basically, on a nakation:

• We don’t have to worry what to pack: Sunscreen, shoes. Oh, and maybe a towel for those really hot car seats.

• We don’t have to answer calls from the office because there’s no place to carry our cell phones.

• We don’t have to fix our hair or put on our makeup because no one will be looking at our faces.

I’m just sayin.’

Just a tip, though. Try taking a nakation to Disney World and you’re likely to end up in a jail cell holding your Mickey Mouse ears over your nether regions.
