Some Random Vacationing Observations
May 14, 2008It's a little after ten o'clock as I write this. I wanted to jot down a few post-trip observations before stepping over and around the post-trip luggage, which seems to have exploded everywhere, and make my way to bed.
The first observation is that I have to write a different book. My current, six page unfinished Disney book was very unhelpful. One of my tips was to have a hot fuge sundae at Ghirardelli's. This is a great tip - if Ghirardelli's isn't closed for refurbishment. Another tip I had was to run to the store that sells the name badges and buy one, have your name inscribed there upon, and walk around with it displayed so everyone can call you by name. That's a great tip - if Disney hasn't stopped selling name tags. (I kid you not.)
The second observation is more of a question. As in, "What time do I go to bed?" I find that every time we go away I end up going to bed at a "decent" hour. So now it's just after ten and I'm exhausted, whereas normally I stay up until two. I suppose over the next week I'll ease into the 2 a.m. rut again, but I always wonder if I should try to stick with a reasonable hour.
Lastly, have you ever noticed that right after you get home you end up needing something at the store and so you drive over but you're still in Highway Warrior Mode and so you find yourself driving 98 miles an hour with both hands clenched on the steering wheel? I mean, that never happens to me - but it probably happens to you, right?
It's 10:21 now - I'm off to think about going to bed now, assuming I can circumnavigate the luggage.
