Tropical relaxation

Sunset over Nassau, Bahamas
July 4, 2009

Friday when I got in, I was tired, the weather was indecisive, and when I went back to my room to do some reading to wait out an afternoon rainshower, I ended up crashing around 6pm. By the time I woke up, it was already dark. I almost did the same thing on Saturday night, but managed to wake up just in time to catch a few quick snaps of the sunset. (I get very frustrated when my travel time is short and I miss the sunsets!)

I guess I was really worn out... I slept a lot, especially for what was only a weekend trip. On one side, it felt very wasteful to have journeyed several hours and then spend a lot of it asleep, but on the other hand, I realized how badly I need some tropical relaxation time. I am definitely revisiting the idea of Belize or Costa Rica in the fall; it's just a matter of figuring out how to fund that. (Bad timing strikes again - right before my two weekends away, to Vegas and Nassau, I had to dish out quite a lot for car repairs. Yay. *sigh....*).

Sometimes, you don't think you need time away as badly as you do, until you actually go away. And then you go, wow, I really needed this. This weekend was definitely one of those times.
