Good afternoon from this side of the planet . It's another post as I wait for my flight at the airport. The trip comes to an end and it was a great trip, one of the best ones . College reunions are the best. Good food, good company, fun and tourism...one can not ask for anything more And the best thing was to get to spend one night with my elder daughter in my brother's place . Now all fun ends and I look forward to work from tomorrow morning. . This trip actually rejuvenated me. Hope all is well in your myLot corner. Enjoy your time. I will move to my notifications as I wait here. Take care.

@arunima25 We haven't been on any sort of major trip in a long time . It is good to break away from the daily routine of life when we can. Where will you go for the next one? Seeing family is always nice . You may be tired, but it was a good tired .

I totally agree there. We do need them and more when we are in age going through midlife crisis in all possible ways. . They do rejuvenate us. I am already looking forward to next one. We have planned one in 2024 Dec. Just hoping that all goes well. I also got to meet my mother and brother's family along with my elder daughter. Some happy times though it was just for a day Back home last evening and back to work today. Now I feel the tiredness

@much2say We are yet to decide the place. It's still a long time till Dec 2024. Before that I would make a couple of trips for family vacation.

@arunima25 You're welcome. If you're too tired when you get home, you can always tell your hubby that you're going to bed early.

@LadyDuck One should never keep travel plans for old age. You don't have the energy to travel so much. Also, we all develop different health issues with ageing. You did the wise thing to travel all that you could in young age.

Traveling is an excellent way to break up the monotony of life in our space. It can be physically exhausting, but the memories you gained from the trip are worth the exhaustion.

All is well here. Thank you for your concern. I am busy with all good reasons. A new work responsibility, a new role ( that I always wanted) and restarted to take therapy sessions in the afternoon. So, got all busy with life. . I am not much online these days. But still try to peep in here whenever I can . How are you? I have a lot to catch up here. And I am sure that I will not be able to catch up with all

Glad that it was a nice event despite many missing out. Ours is more like a planned trip where a huge group of friends come together and plan it. We plan our next meeting in December 2024. It's a long wait but I am looking forward to it.
