I am Guilty

[rinakim]

of being a fair weather boardie!

When I have no trip in the works I avoid it, reading about everyone else having fun is just too darned depressing for me.

When I have a trip in the works, I am all over it and semi-obsessed with refreshing my screen every few minutes.

I need to learn balance and that it is okay for others to have fun when I am not

That is my confession for the day ............

i can see where youre coming from..i can picture myself layin low after my trip after ive relived my trip on here, it would not be something i would want to think about everyday... i mean ever since i found out iam really going in june, i cant get away from jamaica forums or watching youtube (things on jamaica).. am i making the wait worse?? i like to think it helps pass the time.. but if i had no idea when my return would be, then it would be TORTURE!!!!

It's simple really - book another trip as soon as you get home! Try it - it really does work I actually booked 2 when we got back just before Christmas. Our Dr. calls it the Tarzan Principle - you don't let go of the branch until you have another one to grab on to!

2Nutz, I am normally researching flight prices for our next trip before we have even headed home from a trip. But the Voice of Reason ..... aka Larry ...... puts a stop to my daydreaming and says that we won't be going again for "a year or two".
I then sit back and wait patiently for him to miss it as much as I do, plant a few precious seeds in his mind about going back and then watch the garden grow. Next thing I know we are booked.
I truly thought this time though that we wouldn't be going back so soon. We were just there in September and than again in November.
I really owe this trip to Groove and his lovely wife. They were the ones that helped plant the seeds and water the garden this time

541, it is torture, but it's a good kind of torture! Waiting is the hardest part, but departure day always creeps up on us!

it wasn't me...lol....but with you talking about -40 degrees, and -17 being a good day, the door was open and we just took it from there....

Been feeling the same lately, skim through the threads then bounce like a hot potato

....and sometimes just gotta avoid it altogether like the plague lol

After every trip, I disappear for a while. It's just too hard and I miss it too much! I disagree about the waiting being hard. For me, that's the best part! I love the anticipation! Leaving us definitely the worst.

I think everyone here is just plain fun! I come for the laughs, pics, pains and joys shared. Never know if I'm going to be able to get that next trip planned, but this is a party!

Lol, 2nutz thinks like me. We book out next trip while we are there, and it makes the next countdown something to look forward to as I go through yet another NE winter. We booked two days before we left, going so far as to get a tour of the cottage we are staying in for the first half of our 2013 trip.
