Well, I just got back home yesterday from a weeks vacation in Kauai, Hawaii. It was so beautiful and I documented my whole trip with my camera so I wouldn't forget a thing! From laying on the beach, whale watching, deep sea fishing, making new friends, 2-mile runs on the beach, coffee plantation, etc. I got so much in. I seriously had so much time for self reflection and relaxation. While on the trip I also spent lots of time writing this darn paper, and having writers block! I was able to get in my first couple drafts, but honestly I had about 3 different papers. Completely different topics, but I settled on one that felt right.
My last days on the island were bitter-sweet. I was excited to get back home and get back into my routine, but i was so relaxed, and it's nice to not have any stress! Anyway, my family and I got kicked out of the apartment at 10am, so we hung around the pool drinking pina coladas and mai tais until 5pm. then we were off to the airport. I had no idea that coming back would be a harder transition then going there. Hawaii is 4 hours behind so you feel like you're going to bed early, and waking up early even if your sleep schedule is going to bed at 2am Rochester time. it was nice. By the last couple days I was going to bed later... and later... and by the time we hopped on our flight from Kauai to Honolulu, it was 9pm. Once in Honolulu we had to wait 2 hours for our flight to San Fransico. There we only had an hour and a half lay over. One thing is for sure, when you travel that much and get no sleep, you feel really goofy! I got maybe 3 hours of sleep total. I woke up in Minneapolis when the plane landed around 2pm. So, on Saturday I didn't leave til 9pm.. Then traveling til Sunday at 2pm! I was exhausted. I slept so much last night and today, I even crashed during the Superbowl party. I slept all night and woke up at noon today, still not even feeling close to rested i decided to work on my paper. I still hear my bed calling my name....
