Today I read a fellow bloggers post "Taking a Vacation from my Vacation". It made me think about my recent vacation. The two days after my vacation I spent my time on the couch recovering from the trip or from the day in the sun or from whatever. For years I have felt like I needed time off after taking a vacation.
For me I am not sure if it is the traveling or the sleeplessness or the germs on the planes or what. I know that too much sun makes me feel sick despite what the doctor's say. I also know that I tend to sleep less when I travel due to the stress of making the flight, getting the dogs and bird to their sitters, locking up the house, making sure everything is packed, etc. ( I once left my passport at home when going on an international flight. It was pre-9/11 so I was able to go on the flight but I had to have my passport sent to me to get back into the USA. Since then I have been a little neurotic about forgetting the essentials.) I am sure there are millions of germs on planes that are attacking my compromised immune system body and that probably makes me tired. I have a vision in my head of a doll being attacked by millions of these sperm looking germs and the doll getting sicker and sicker. Weird I know.
I don't know what it is that makes travel so hard. I just know that I have learned to not plan anything important for the two days after a vacation. I also know that if I do plan something, I may not be able to attend because I may be on the couch instead. Watching a good movie and resting.
Until tomorrow...
