Exactly. I used to get so upset, knowing I couldn't go back to the times I miss, but that's just life. More awesome moments will come, just got to keep going to get to them!
I know exactly what you mean. There were moments of almost panic when I sat there thinking about going home. I did not want to, but then coming home has been really easy. I did make plans while overseas to keep myself busy, but I kind of expected the transition to be harder. In some ways, I'm really happy to be home. Sure, it probably would've been fun to keep going, but coming home at the time I did just felt right.
The fact that experiences of all sorts can be so transient, so fleeting, is bittersweet, I must agree. I feel the same about London, Paris, Rome, and Wales; I loved talking to locals and being around the culture. I felt as if I was in a different world, and yet I wasn't.
I guess one of the things that make those moments so awesome are that they have to end. Otherwise, they wouldn't really mean as much. It is amazing how different a place can be, yet so much more familiar than you ever thought.
Wow. I love your posts!! Some of them are so moving and this one too, makes a lot fo sense to me. I know what you mean about when you look back, what you remember mostare people. Places alone do not make memories. Hugs and good luck with your new adventure!! Dawnielle
Aww thanks, Dawnielle! People are really what made my entire trip amazing. Just knowing that there are people out there like them, it's a definite comfort to me.

I know that feeling, for the places that seem too good to be true, that they are places that are so different from what we usually know.
