Getaway

I am absolutely craving for a holiday, a trip to discover something new, to forget the old, to escape the never ending monotony of my thoughts, of just being. A long, long drive, reaching a destination which i haven't explored before. Reading, talking to my family, listening to songs i love. Sleeping on the unfamiliar bed sheets, waking up and getting dressed in a hurry in order to reach in time for the "included-in-the-package" breakfast. Then going out to see all the tourist attractions, and the inevitable shopping, one of my vices! Then the long drive back, being all tired after a whirlwind trip, and the sad ritual of the unpacking. Oh how i wish i could just fly away!
My last holiday was quite recent actually, which is probably why my father, who's usually bitten by the travel bug even faster than i am, hasn't started getting impatient yet. The first week of august, my cousin got married in Phuket, Thailand - a very fancy 7 day punju affair, the best kind in my opinion! 2 days dedicated to just shopping in Bangkok, and then 8 functions in just 4 days in Phuket's uber luxurious Khao Lak Beach and Spa Resort. Much dancing, drinking, flirting and romancing with tall, dark and handsome members of the opposite sex till the wee hours of the morning, was involved! Aah, quite a fantasy trip actually! Which is probably why im dying to get away once again, from this mundane existence. Last year was quite a fulfilling one in this regard, i took a record 7 trips outside Delhi!
Oh, how badly i crave my opiate , my dose of travel!
