I've never been a "vacation-person". Every time I was on holidays the only place where I longed to be is the place where I get to spend less time: home. My idea of vacations has always been loose clothes, movies, TV shows, the net and anything else that makes you a good couch-potato. I never got the idea of a weekend "getaway". Why get away, when you can stay at home and be very happy about it.
However, I now stand corrected. I know why people go on vacations and I know why "getting away" can be something great sometimes.
Spending your holidays in an exotic place, especially with someone with whom you intend to spend the rest of your life, is a way to foresee what lies ahead. Quite a nutshell view, but I find it terribly useful.
Planned vacations teach you valuable life lessons such as:
1. Never overestimate certain things: You won`t actually eat or drink as much as you think you would. You might not have enough time to do all the activities you intended to do.
2. Unexpected things happen: The weather might not be ideal for swimming and it might just be too cold outside to do any outdoor activity.
3. Life is full of pleasant surprises: The food might surprise you or you might end up doing a walk that brings you to discover new things.
All in all I am happy we did it. And it might sound terribly cliché but home is really where the heart is.

That's totally normal. Only a hardworking adult will appreciate having a smoke in the outside bathtub. ;-)
