i love vacation.  now vacation is done and it’s back to reality.  it seems like a lifetime ago that i was sitting on a beach enjoying a tropical drink listing to the waves.  sigh, it was just last week.

a couple of things became clear during this last trip. the most important, i’m done travelling by myself.  maybe because i live alone (ok, not really alone, alone with kitty) solo travel just isn’t fun.  and when i say solo travel i mean me going to one place and hanging out by myself, like my trip to Puerto Rico and Mazatlan last year.  trips where i’m on a tour like Argentina and Peru, that is different, because i’m with a set of people the whole time.  even in Argentina the week alone in Buenos Aires, not as much fun as the rest of the trip.  i like talking with people, seeing familiar faces and sharing experiences.

i’m fairly certain i can get a friend to vacation with me, it all depends on where i go and what i’m doing i suppose.  a lot of my friends have kids, so they would probably enjoy a little respite sitting poolside drinking fruity beverages with little umbrellas in them right?

so now i sit, with my itchy leg, waiting for the next trip.  not much going on over the summer……a quick trip to Tahoe for Fathers Day, fingers crossed for Bonneville in August and then Northern Lights in September.  if i manage to get somewhere else before Bonneville i will of course post, but it may be quiet for a bit.  don’t worry though, i shall return!
