i’m very happy to report that my bag was delivered, as promised, to my office Monday afternoon. the driver even called to confirm, which was really nice, and good customer service. i must say for having to change flights at the airport, everyone was really accommodating and made an effort. a nice thing to see these days.
i am completely unpacked and laundry has been done. i still haven’t managed to get to the store yet, but i’m guessing by the weekend i’ll be out of frozen vegetables and soup. i’m wading through the million and two photos i’ve taken, trying to find the decent ones to include in the album. the album will be on Shutterfly.com along with my other trips. there is a link on the right side of the page.
i went back to work the day after returning, and i almost feel like i didn’t go on a vacation. i’m not sure if this makes sense, but i think i went away for too long. or maybe it’s because i was in one area (a city) for a week at the end by myself. it kind of feels like i was living in a different area for a month, but not a real vacation. i don’t know, it’s just an odd feeling.
i think in the future i will stick with 10-14 day trips, those are more to my liking. not too mention they’re more affordable and people are more apt to come with. not that i mind traveling solo, but it is fun to be somewhere different with a group of friends.
back to the photo sorting. sigh, it’s a long process, but i think i have them all facing the right direction now, which was step one.
An amazing trip, even with your serial cheese consumption. Thanks for all the great pictures and detail – it was great to get an escape from the cube walls through your journal. You have serious travel skills.
