Hesitantly I write that I'm reminded when you can have too much of a good thing. I can hear scoff from many on reading but some of you will totally understand! For me, I've done Mykonos. You learn a lot about yourself travelling and to be honest, no one can ever have the same thoughts or feelings about their experiences.
I know if I was one who enjoyed lazing around all day besides the pool or on the beach I'd happily spend a week doing so! To me, travel, especially overseas is not so. I enjoy exploring and tasting and doing. Seeing, watching and eating. Drinking, chatting and learning.
I could go to the beach at home: better beaches. (But generally don't anyway). I burn like bacon in the sun, seemingly even after using sunscreen and I loathe laying in direct sun. If there's no shade it's akin to torture!
I hope this doesn't come across as selfish. It's just a good reminder and reflection for future travel. Don't get me wrong, I'll still enjoy and make the absolute most of it. I suppose it partly occurred as I clicked with David (from San Francisco) and had a real belly laugh and shared experiences; realising I am a social being and sometimes need and miss that interaction and genuine sharing, chatting and contact. Another aspect is it's not really great for me to be alone with my thoughts for too long. Disclaimer at this point: not "depressed" or down. Just a bit 'flatsy doll'. Looking forward to meeting up with Robyn, Mike, Peter and Sami end of week.
In hindsight (or if I didn't have a non refundable accommodation today I'd ship out to a new destination to explore! I mean, the beauty of Europe is I could have been in a mountain village in Switzerland or Waltzing it up in amazing Vienna. (Sorta sounds selfish even writing it, but most of us don't get the chance to visit so many cultures in a short time often...). As I previously said, I could head down to Torquay or Ocean Grove to lay under a tree at the beach!). As I said, that's me! I'm sure some get it, some won't.
Well, I'll sip my Frappe by the beautiful pool and relax.
It's very therapeutic writing these thoughts down. Actually makes you feel better and clearer. Once again, that's me too: I feel better sharing.
Hugs to all!
PS: Great news about the 3rd Royal baby and the Logies (yawn) being dumped! LOL (just glanced at a few 'news' articles today! So love having the American way (not knowing what's happening in rest of world!
