Post-vacation life adjustment is a killer, let me tell you!! Coming off the experience of nine totally amazing days in Hawaii, back to home where it's currently 40 degrees, our furnace isn't working, we're suffering from major jet lag, and we're broke, well... we're a bit wistful at the moment.
I had the time of my life and am SO GLAD that we splurged on ourselves and took this trip. Having spent so much time working in nursing homes, I've learned from other people how important it is to have fun while you're young, because you can't count on being healthy if you wait until you retire. So carpe diem we did! We hiked through volcanic craters, swam with sea turtles, snorkeled through schools of exotic fish, saw the most beautiful sunset ever from Waikiki beach, bathed in a Japanese furo tub, slept in a treehouse, kissed in the jungle during a rainstorm, and worshipped in a Hawaiian church. And that's just the beginning! I'll be working on some reviews that I'll post on TripAdvisor (my favorite website), so I'll copy them to the blog, too.
I have so much to process from this trip. So much that it will probably be annoying, but why not expound on something good, for a change? My best vacations are the ones that challenge me, push me a bit out of my comfort zone, and teach me more about the world. And this one did all three, and I thrive on that! I feel totally refreshed, like new life has been breathed into me, and strong again, like I can tackle anything.
