Back Again

2009 July 2

Hi there, yesterday I came back from our vacation on Kos. I must say, even after being away for just two weeks, blogging feels a bit strange. I’m sorry I didn’t answer the comments here on the blog sooner but I’m not really comfortable using a public PC for checking my emails and blog. Besides, the hotel only offered internet access for one hour (5 Euro) and I thought that a bit much for what I wanted to do. But thank you for commenting anyway. It was really nice seeing the comments when I came back.

Besides the comments, I also came back to 30 spam comments here on the blog and nearly 1000 posts in my feed reader. Most of the posts there I marked as read – sorry! – though I looked at the title and first line of every one. But nearly 1000 – that’s just too intimidating to wade through after being offline for two weeks although I marked a few for reading later. (We’ll see how that turns out. *cough*)

I’ll post a few photos of our vacation in the next days. I need to sort them first. For now, here’s a breakdown of our vacation in numbers:

  • # of days away: 14
  • # of days the sun was shining: 14
  • # of days it was hot (> 30 C/86 F): 14
  • # of days it rained: 0
  • # of days we had a car: 7
  • # of photos taken: > 750 (I love memory cards!)
  • # of sunburns: 3 (only slight sunburns, gone the next day. The first one I got on my right ear on our first day. I didn’t think of sun protection there!)
  • # of times I ate more than I should have: every breakfast and dinner
  • # of books read: 4 and a half
  • # of audiobooks listened to: 1
  • # of songs listened to: A LOT (love my mp3 player)
  • # of time I felt good: all the time

    Hey … WELCOME BACK! That’s wonderful you’ve had such a fantastic vacation. And NEVER feel guilty about eating more when on vacation – you’re supposed to! :D

    Thanks for your welcome backs, you two! :D

    Nath – hi! :D
    Yes, regular life needs some getting used to again. No longer being able to look at a buffet to decide what to eat is especially difficult LOL. The half book is Brandon Sanderson’s The Hero of Ages. It’s the last book in a fantasy trilogy and coming in at nearly 800 pages. *g*

    Jace – hi! :D
    I love to eat! So I don’t exactly feel guilty. I’m just wondering why because I would say breakfast and dinner are things that still need some improvement. Obviously it was not bad *g* but to live up to the beautiful surrounding… it “should” be a bit better. But then, a buffet always seduces me into eating more than I normally do. And I loved the chocolate cream cakes for dessert. LOL
