The holidays are the busiest travel times of the entire year. People are traveling from all over to go and see their loved for Christmas, New Years etc.
Other people are just traveling to spend their holidays in warmer, tropical weather. Other times, it's the opposite and people are looking to spend their holidays in the snow. So what is it like for someone from the tropics to travel to the freezing northern states?
When you first step off of the plane, you're greeted with grey, barren trees.
Say goodbye to your lively, bright green palm trees because they're a thing of the past now. The skies are no longer a bright shade of blue, but rather a blanket of grey clouds, unless you're one of the lucky few who are graced with a blue sky but zero clouds. When you finally exit the airport, the cold air is whipping around you, smacking you in the face. It's a rude awakening after coming from eighty degree warmth and sunshine.
After rushing to the car, you realize someone should've stayed behind to keep the car running because it is FREEZING inside and now you have to wait for the heat to kick on.
When you finally get comfortable and settled in your warm ride, suddenly it's time to get out and go back into the tundra. To you, it feels like you're in the North Pole, whereas to others it's one of the warmest days of Winter so far. You guys will then spend the next few days going back and forth as to whether or not you're being over dramatic or it really is cold. You are next arguing about whether or not it's better to live in a place with seasons or constant warm temperatures.
You will drink so much hot chocolate and coffee in an attempt to keep warm that your blood will turn into your drink.
Fuzzy socks will become an essential no matter what they look like and you will never want to get dressed up because you are so focused on staying warm. Even waking up in the morning is one of the hardest things you'll have to do now, strictly because it is way too cold to come out from under the covers.
By the end of your trip, your body has adjusted to the cold.
You're convinced that you were meant to move to Alaska and live in an igloo while ice fishing for food. You were born and raised in the cold. Warmth? Never heard of her. But once you get home, you are reminded exactly why you don't live up north. The warm weather is too hard to give up.
