The best holiday I’ve had would be when my friends and I stayed a whole week in another capital. We didn’t care if we went broke after that, we just needed a change of environment and we needed it fast. We did our research, packed our bags and hit the road. The holiday started when we were in the bus before it was just vibes on vibes. We were gisting, taking road pictures and making fun of Daniel. He was going through a breakup at that time and probably needed that trip more than anybody else. It was a 6 hour drive to the hotel. I wasn’t disappoint with the hotel at all. We settled in, did a head count and immediately hurried off to go do some sight seeing.
The first 3 days were great, we just spent most of the time around the city, taking pictures and trying out different street food. I’m just reliving those moments now. The next days were even more fun. We got to go to the beach. Most of us should know the feeling we get from just being on the beach, the joy you get especially when you get to spend that moment with people you love.
Daniel didn’t seem to think about his breakup for the time being because he was the one in the water the most. Games were played, drinks were drank, secrets were told, smiles were made. We visited the beach twice in a row but alas, all things must come to an end, even the good ones. We called it quits after a week and headed home. One thing I did learn from this experience was that we all need these holidays sometimes. I noticed everybody worked well for the next month, like we left our stress down at the beach after all, all work and no play. It was an awesome experience and I can’t wait to do it again.
The bad and the Ugly
I don’t like to talk about my worse holiday because I don’t enjoy reliving the memory so I’ll just say little about it. It happened when we went for my grandmother’s 70th birthday about 4 years ago. Doesn’t seem like a bad experience, right? Well my aunt dropped dead two days into the party in front of the whole extended family. She had heart issues and it looked like it had finally failed completely. How quick something of joy turned over so quick. I still didn’t ask for the full details of the cause of death because I just couldn’t stomach the fact that she was gone. I didn’t learn anything from this experience, I didn’t want it to happen in the first place.
