This past week, I went on an incredible vacation that was a cruise to the Bahamas and Grand Turk, an island in the Turks and Caicos. It has been a huge struggle to come back to reality and face the fact that I won’t be living on the ship for the rest of my life. I always have this struggle after coming home from vacation, and I think a lot of people do. I don’t think anyone enjoys the idea of returning to real life after a vacation. So in the spirit of my unfortunate return to the real world, here are some of my random thoughts on returning to real life from tropical life.
- Wait, you mean I have to actually get off this ship?
- That was definitely not part of the deal.
- Maybe it was but I’m sticking with no
- I've been looking forward to this vacation, now what do I look forward to?
- If I “lose” my passport, does that mean I get to stay on the ship?
- I don’t even want to think about unpacking
- Or all the work I have to do.
- Is getting back on the ship an option?
- No, my life is fine, but who doesn’t love tropical life?
- No, Florida doesn’t count.
- Queue research looking for next cruise
- 21st birthday? Cruise
- Hanukah? Cruise
- I’m not Jewish, but still...
- Flag Day? Definitely an excuse to cruise
- How about a cruise for surviving the week?
- A week ago, I was boarding.
- I hate this I hate this I hate this I hate this
- Maybe if I close my eyes, I'll be back in the Caribbean.
- Nope, didn't work.
- Where’s the unlimited ice cream?
- I may be off the ship but the way I feel myself rocking right now would indicate otherwise
- I can’t wait for the next one. Sigh.
