Let me take me far away, I'd like a holiday

My question is: Why is it every time I plan a vacation I have to go through living hell before actually leaving? Why can’t I have a serene pre-vacation period where I could calmly prepare my luggage and only having to think about how I’ll spend my time wherever it is I’m going? Why can’t things be so simple and everything go as planned?

But I guess that’s just some wishful thinking as far as I’m concerned.

Anyway, the adventures are back by popular demand so in the next few days I’m off to yet another cruise experience with my fellow explorers.. (Well at least some of them as someone important is still missing from the group).

And in case anyone’s wondering, the answer is NO. The latest cruise ship tragedy hasn’t affected my plans or my desire at all!

Having gone through a rough couple of weeks at work with endless overtime and stress (including today and probably tomorrow), it is the only thing that I'm looking forward to right now. I’ve got one more day to prepare my stuff and do some shopping so hopefully I’ll find the time for all that..
Did you say stress? :-)
One thing’s for sure though. I will be back with more so stay tuned for the detailed review of our latest escapade!
