It was still Friday night and I rushed home after work. Jill and I had a one week vacation planned in Boracay and our flight was at 3 AM. We had planned this trip in November or December.
Our holiday break was 4 weeks long. A short time after we booked the Boracay trip, Jill discovered a once-in-her-lifetime Yoga workshop was being held in Bali. It was one week after our Boracay trip. I pushed her to book it, and so our plans evolved. We were going to spend a week in Boracay, return to Shenzhen for a week, then go off to Bali for a week, finally, we would spend the last holiday week back in Shenzhen. It was a bit of an odd series of trips but we were seasoned travelers, so no sweat.
Our Boracay trip was going to be relaxing. We were going to the beach but our stay was in a nice apartment. Jill was planning to work on her Master’s and I was going to do a little writing. For the rest of the time we would be swimming, lying on and beach, eating, and drinking. So, I threw some beach clothes in a suitcase and my computer in my backpack.
Around 11 PM we jumped in a taxi and went to the Shenzhen airport. We left our apartment a mss. Clothes were laying about and we had purchased 4 extra 5 gallon bottles of water to use during the holiday break. The plants would be fine and the laundry could wait. We were exhausted but excited as Jill locked the door and we wandered off to find a taxi in the late night air.
