Hold up.
I just left this to come back to Dallas?
Clearly, I need to reevaluate my life choices.
Oh, wait. There’s the little boy in me, in the lower right corner, refusing to rejoin the adult world, with all the irritating responsibility such an action entails, determinedly marching off on another adventure. Good. After all, we always leave a tiny piece of us in the places we have been and, forever more, the ghosts of those pieces stay with us, whispering of yesterday and hinting of tomorrow…

I want to be in that picture so badly it physically hurts.

But I thought you WERE there. Isn’t that shadow in the sand a fleeting image of you racing to knock me down so you could get a primo spot under one of the thatched umbrellas before I did?… 😉

Wow, that is one beautiful place. I’m not sure I’d have the strength to leave it, but I’m glad you’re back. 🙂

It did take a lot of strength to say goodbye, especially since I only had to come back because my partner still has a pesky day job…

So true about leaving little bits of us wherever we’ve been and taking places with us wherever we go. Welcome back 🙂

It’s always good to be home. But it does make you wonder where your home really might be…

Beautiful. Welcome back…at least physically, eh? I think that your mind is still overseas – and I don’t blame you one bit.

I hope that your luggage made a safe return state-side!

My mind is always overseas. And yes, the luggage made it back, and it smells like the Mediterranean… 😉

LOL – the luggage keeps the memories alive, then! Smell is one sense that seems to trigger them, no?

I am no traveler, I miss my home too much. My big sis is though, she is always off and about.
