Reise
I need a vacation.
The world is spinning too fast and I get motion sickness...
Remedy? Taking some time off.
"I'm going to Mexico," I tell my friend. He just asked me if I wanted to go to this new movie with him this weekend.
"Well this came out of no where," he says about my travel plans, and it did. Spur of the moment. Some times its the best way to do things.
"I'll be back Sunday," I say. "I need to get the hell out of this place. And I don't just mean this town."
....
So I'm feeling like the world has begun to cave in on me so I'm talking to the only person in the world that can make me smile in that kind of situation and its 2 a.m. and the world is asleep and I know that I should be too because I need to wake up at 4 a.m., and I've already had an early day today with no nap in between, but, like I said, it feels like my life is caving in, so I'm talking to the only person that makes it feel like I'm wearing a hard hat, and she's really working her magic right now so I'm not that sure I want to hang up on her. So we talk. I get an hour of sleep. Good trade off. And thats not sarcasm.
....
I catch my plane to Mexico and am passed out for the entire flight. Hell, I'm so tired that I don't even remember walking through the airport or getting on the plane. It dosn't matter. Once I sat down and fastened my seatbelt I was already in paradise. We took off. I left the world behind me.
....
And here's a side note. My phone dosn't work in Mexico. That means you can't get a hold of me. Haha.
....
At sunset we touch down at the airport by the beach and I step outside and see palm trees and tropical birds and they're singing to each other and I have no idea where the hell I am but it feels good to finally get lost in a place I don't know. Havn't done that in a long time.
My friend meets me at the airport.
We take a bus to a small town in the middle of somewhere.
We really have no plan. No Hotel. No idea where we're going.
I like how that sounds, looking back at it.
"We had no idea where we were going."
Thats the best feeling in the world.
