Jun. 13th, 2019 06:39 pmWhat was your favorite childhood vacation?
Probably a Christmas holiday in Thailand. I loved every moment of it and we got to meet a young elephant, which was pretty special.
What is your dream vacation?
I want to go to Iceland in winter and look for the Northern Lights. Obviously there are other things to do in Iceland, but that's the thing that really sticks out to me.
If you could take a trip around the world, what locations would you be sure to include?
I'd want to go to Paphos, because I've really enjoyed holidays there. I'd like to see more of Cyprus generally, including North Cyprus which I've never been to. I'd want to go back to Hong Kong. I'd want to go to Hokkaido again. I think basically my ideal trip around the world just involves going back to places I've already been! I'd love to go to the Hobbiton set in New Zealand though, that would be new. Also probably more of New Zealand, it looks beautiful.
Do you prefer vacations to new destinations, to familiar destinations, or a mix?
My last answer might have given this away a bit! I like things that are familiar. I can get overwhelmingly anxious about new experiences, which really detracts from any eventual enjoyment.
What activities would you plan for a two week staycation?
...people plan activities when they get to spend two weeks at home? Absolutely not. I might go to the Lake District, but that's closeish to where I'm living and in all probability I would think about going to the Lakes, tell myself I'd do it tomorrow, and then do the same thing for the whole two weeks. Frankly, I like my bed, I like my sofa, I love my books, I love my games. Nature is beautiful, but fibro is a painful thing and honestly I'm going to need two weeks of doing very little to recover from what I'm doing at the moment work-wise. Why would I pass up the opportunity to get some actual rest?
