It was another break in our daily routine and another opportunity to go away on a holiday. Sometimes I feel like I live between two travels, so yes we went away for a couple of nights to a coastal town called Ocean Grove.
We rented a property through Airbnb and it was a lovely apartment, clean, well-maintained and aesthetic. The minute we arrived at that place we felt right at home. So comfortable did we feel, that at times we were reluctant to go out and explore our surroundings.
The apartment had all the creature comforts and its decor completely reflected the beach house ethos. So yes there we were in a beautiful house watching Netflix. At that moment a dilemma struck me….holiday means to relax, and taking a holiday away, means to explore, in my mind. The lines seemed to be blurring for me there. Why did we travel some few hours away from the hustle and bustle of city life to secure ourselves in a new place, to watch TV? Or, is this not a real holiday when we did nothing but relax, watching TV in our PJ’s all day?
The final verdict was we did step out, of course to eat and also for a hike. However the dilemma remains!
What should I be doing the next time around?
