Thoughts of Home
Sometimes I get really tired of being on the road. We're off to Nepal in one week and I'm thrilled to be going, sad to be leaving the beach, and desperately wishing for home all at the same time. It's 11:30pm at night and I'm sitting in an internet cafe (paying way too much becuase they rip you off like crazy when you're stuck on an island) because I can't quite stand the thought of climbing up the ladder/stairs to our white walled 8ft by 9 ft room and trying to go to bed as a sub-standard fan circulates the 35C air throughout. We watched a show tonight at a restaurant - "The Beach with Leonardo DiCaprio" (if I ever see another movie with him it will be too soon - I think I'd rather watch a looped Sly Stallone and Danny Devito sitcom for 34 hours straight)...a lame movie, but we figured we ought to watch it anyway becuase we're going snorkelling tomorrow at the site where the movie was shot (we're on Koh Phi Phi in Thailand by the way) ............
anyway - I'm just feeling sorry for myself, so forgive me for my rant...but when the show ended I was just reminded once again that we were so far from home, and that we had no place to go relax, no friends we could call up to hang out with, no couch to go nap on, no fridge to go raid, no piano to play, no car to go for a drive in, no TV to watch hockey...I guess in a nutshell I just miss having a home that we can call our own and I miss it most in the evenings when we try to find something else to do then to sit in another bar.
