I guess you know you’re settled when you feel so at home after coming back from a vacation. I’ve often have a feeling of absolute relief when getting in a cab at the airport. No matter how wonderful the vacation has been, getting in that cab and knowing exactly where you’re going, knowing you’re 20-30 minutes from your home, feels really good. I remember this feeling while living in Boston, and then San Francisco, and today I celebrate it for the first time in Hong Kong. I’m back from a fabulous vacation and I feel like i’ve been gone for ages. Probably due to the fact that I didn’t stay put in any one place while on this vacation. I’m so ready to get back to work, and that even feels good.
I’ve missed Hong Kong. I’ve missed the organized chaos that I’ve grown used to, I’ve missed being comfortable crossing my streets (I had difficulties in both Sydney AND certainly in Ho Chi Minh), i’ve missed understanding the currency, and i’ve missed my comfy apartment. It feels so good to come home thousands of miles from home.
