Travel - The 9 stages of going on Vacation

Good Morning Everyone xoxo

So having been back from my vacation for 3 weeks now I'm just starting to shake those holiday blues and come around to the fact that I need to live in the real world until September when I can go away again. We all have different stages of emotions before, during and after a vacation and I thought that I would share mine with you all.

1. Counting Down The Seconds 

That face you make when you realise it's nearly time to leave work for your vacation, there's no better feeling.

2. The journey to the airport

When you don't care that it's 3 am, you are wide awake after eating chocolate for breakfast (you are on vacation after all) driving to the airport without another sinner on the road without a care in the world. 

3. The struggle of getting to your gate on time

That moment of blind panic when you've been in the security line for an hour and you fear you might miss your flight.

4. Turbulence and your sudden realisation that you are terrified of flying

When turbulence hits, you over think things, panic and end up looking like an idiot sobbing your heart out while all the children continue to colour and look at you like you are crazy.

5. Arriving at your destination

When that beautiful warm air hits you in the face after coming from a country where summer lasts a grand total of 24 hours and its about 10 degrees. 

6. Enjoying you well deserved and much needed Vacation

Acting like a fool, wearing what you want and not caring because "no one knows me here"......

7. When it starts to sink in that you actually have to go home

That sad, sad day that reality hits and you remember that you actually have to go home to real life.

8. Packing and heading back to the airport

That moment you realise that you have bought too much, need another bag, don't want to go home and feel fat all at the same time. 

9. Going back to work after your vacation

That horrible moment your alarm goes off on Monday morning and you contemplate breaking your arm just so you can stay in bed.

I hope you all have an amazing day and for those of you that are going on vacation soon, have an amazing time and remember..... you need to come back eventually but you could always plan your next holiday in the airport while waiting for your flight home (thats what I did) Life is short, see the world if you can, book last minute holidays to random places and enjoy the little things in life. 

Love 

Kim xoxo
