Welcome back to reality.
A vacation was just the thing I needed to make me want to be at home.
Let me explain.
I thrive on routine. I don’t mind if Monday is just like Tuesday. I don’t care if the meals I make get repetitive (I cook what we like). I never get bored and seldom have to look for entertainment (as close as your local library). Traveling is stressful, especially when you fly tourist and you feel like you are loading onto a cattle car. I resent it when someone checked a suitcase which weighed 53 pounds and my suitcase which weighed over 50 had to be opened in the airport and the load made lighter (who knew Dale’s cargo shorts weighed that much?). They were flying first class (hogwash). That is stress I can do without. Remember here, we made all our flights, everything was on time, our luggage arrived when we did (always a surprise to me). All in all a great experience and yet I was stressed out the whole day.
You need to also know that I have an itch to travel, there is so much I haven’t seen yet. I’ve only just scratched the surface in Asia, and Africa, well one little city in one tiny country, it hardly seems fair to count that. I want to visit all the continents, all. Yet so far in my life I’ve only been to 4 (and I can hardly count the few hours we spent in Africa). I think the hardest continent to visit will be Antarctica. I’ve heard the waters surrounding that coninent are the roughest waters on the globe…but I still want to go (and before the ice completely melts too).
Before we go on another mission, I am determined to visit another continent.
So many places, so little time. Thinking about another cruise.
By the way, a vacation blog will be coming soon. Hopefully with pictures.
