Mar 27: Solo Traveller

Have you ever taken a trip by yourself? Do you prefer to travel with people or alone?

I have taken trips by myself, but they’ve only ever been interstate, so I guess it doesn’t really count. Most of the time I’ve always stayed with relatives, or when I was in my last couple of years of high school, I’d travel to Sydney and stay at my uncle’s hotel – I guess that’s really only been the closest I’ve ever gotten to a trip by myself.

I’ve always travelled with others – primarily, Hulk. There’s something enjoyable about travelling with other people, even if it’s just your partner. Unfortunately, we’ve never actually taken a holiday together, but I do wish we could find a small chunk of time to get away together and actually have a proper HOLIDAY, rather than just travelling for work. I’m sick of travelling overseas for work. I want so badly to travel overseas for recreation. I want us to have a holiday somewhere… ANYWHERE!!

It can even be great travelling with a few people… but I think that it’s also very testing on your limits and your friendship. Being confined to small spaces with a few people 24/7 can (and has) pushed me to breaking point, and I’ve needed to just breakaway and have some solo-time, just to be by myself, and not have to deal with who wants to do what, and waiting for other people to get back to the hotel because there’s only one or two keys between 4 people. Nope. Sorry. Not doing that again.

I do often think about the possibility of travelling by myself somewhere. I don’t actually know where or when, but I know that I’d like to do so at some point in my life. All I know is that I’d most definitely prefer it to involve a tropical island somewhere… bring on the clear blue tropical water and sparkling white sand!!

Daily Prompt: The Best Day Ever

You get to enjoy the best day ever — describe in detail what that means to you. Where are you? What will you do? What’s the weather like? What will you eat? Who will you see?

Best day ever??

It’ll involve being here:

With Hulk.

Having a couple of massages or one big 3-hour massage

Swimming with some turtles and / or dolphins

The sun will be nice and warm, I’ll actually be getting a tan, rather than just burning and peeling like I always do. I’ll be enjoying lots of fresh fruits and rain water – it will be absolutely perfect in my own little piece of heaven.

Daily Prompt: Interplanet Janet

You get to design your own planet: tell us all about your planet — the weather, the seasons, the inhabitants. Go.

Conveniently, I’ve already covered part of this in a previous post.

As for the rest of it… Oh, how I would love for their to be no stupid people on that planet. If it was a planet that I was able to relocate humans to, then I’d be the sole person in charge of screening all applicants… normal people with common-sense would all be relocated to my fancy new planet, but that would then leave all the rest of the dumbasses to fend for themselves here on Earth.

Due to the strict regulations on energy and recycling, there would be such a significant reduction in pollution on the planet, which would result in a purer form of oxygen for the humans, flora and fauna.

This, in term, would mean that global warming wouldn’t be a problem, which, in turn, would create a healthier planet for us to live on.

The weather would be stable – we would still have a standard four seasons, however, droughts would be a thing of the past. Weather would actually be self-sensing and self-regulating… if it senses an area that is in drought, it would instantly create enough rain over the span of a week or two to replenish the environment without having it all happen at once and going to the extreme of flooding.

This would also work in reverse – if there is too much rain or moisture in the atmosphere, the sun and heat would regulate itself in order to dry things up just enough. Ideally there would generally be lots of greenery and sunshine, because modern society doesn’t get enough sunshine, or appreciate simple things in life, like grass and being able to walk on it barefoot.

I want the kind of weather that I love – warm and sunny. Not too hot, not too cold, just perfect every day. Oceans would all be gorgeous and clear with sparkling white sand. I’d still have specific climates in order to preserve specific wildlife ie: polar ice caps.

 

::SIDENOTE:: As soon as I read ‘Interplanet Janet’, my immediate thought was to the Rocky Horror Picture Show…
