1st real vacation - day 0

 Actually, it was not supposed to be a vacation, more like a week-long business conference but since I was paying, I decided to place fun on the front burner and business on the back burner. Don’t judge, you should be proud of me. I’m the kind of person who is always tensed up. You know, the kind who you have to constantly tell to calm down. Granted, I’ve met people worse than me but hey, that’s no excuse.

Anyway, I made the decision at the airport. I was uncharacteristically super early and instead of worrying about the better things I could be doing with my life, I decided to enjoy the experience. So I walked around the airport looking at the lovely things on sale and dreaming of when I’ll have enough money to splurge. Well for now, window shopping would have to do I thought. To be honest, I ended up buying some make-up, but hey, I’m a girl, alright!

Flight went well, took about 14hours with a stop-over at a super sexy airport. Love it. Of course, I enjoyed the view but could not explore much since I didn’t know where the departure gates were. I’m on my way back now and I’ll explore some more. I’ve cleaned out my accounts so I’ll have to settle for window shopping again. Whatever, I don’t care. I digress, again!

At the destination airport, I decided to go to my hotel via public transportation. Mehn, I caught some stares. Still don’t know why, though it could have been due to my height (I was taller than just about everybody there) or my complexion (darker) or my dressing (I was the most covered). Whatever! When I alighted, I asked for directions to the hotel (I was told at the airport that it’s walking distance) but nobody knew how to get there. The only person who had a vague idea told me it was some way away. Ended up taking a taxi. So much for saving money.

Hotel – cool place with a small gym and swimming pool but after 14hours in the air without much sleep (I find it hard to sleep on board, don’t ask me why), all I wanted to do was sleep. Of course, I didn’t get much of that thanks to the 8 hour time difference between home and destination. Spoke some with BF and family. And day 0 came to an end. 

Let's try to get some rest.
