"Visiting with family" =/= "Vacation"

· · 🌡️ 45°F

"Visiting with family" is definitely not equivalent to a "Vacation".

I was over the moon thinking about the vacation, was stressed out completely during the "vacation", but nevertheless didn't want to come back and felt devastated and depressed when I returned. Weird and totally expected at the same time. I miss my folks so much it actually aches. I think I now know why I avoided going back home for so long. :(

I think that's all I want to say about my "vacation".

    awwww! I totally know the feeling... when I lived in Las Vegas and came home to buffalo it definitely wasn't relaxing as a vacation should be, but I was home and it was awesome...and leaving was the worst feeling ever. :(

    Hang in there!

    Are you visiting family for the holidays at all??

    How about some pictures? That will make *us* feel better, at least. ;)

    Thank you all so much. You are like my virtual family here. :-)

    @deeglam: Yes, exactly. Worst feeling ever. That really sums it up! I just got done visiting my only family - so I guess no more family till next year.

    @jenks - I would have had I taken any worthwhile shots. I lost the motivation to take any photos after a while because it was not a "touristy" trip at all.
    I do have some airline food posts to make - but for now my camera is lying buried somewhere deep inside my unpacked suitcase. :)

    I have never gone to someplace I left, so I can only go by what I have heard and from what my brain can figure out. But when you go see family and or friends you want to try to see people but can't see them all or they are busy, or like most familes they also drive you crazy. I will admit that once years ago I had a great Vacation in Toronto and cried (well at least on the inside, maybe a little bit on the outside) when it was time to go home. Let me "Man This Up". I went to see Wrestlemania (Biggest Wrestling Event of the Year) They had Fan Axxes stuff. I broke a camera and bought a new one (before I had a digital one), went to eat some place and saw wrestlers there. Not to mention I went to Toronto Rock game I think they played the Bandits not sure can't remember and one day I had nothing to do so I went down to the ACC and saw that there was a leafs game and wound up waiting in a line and got tickets. The Point is that the time was so fun I didn't want to go back home. So with out knowing what went on I get the depression part of coming back.

    LOL :) I am not sure it was so much fun that I was depressed about coming back - it was more, what the hell am I doing here if I am not really there for people who matter the most to me.
