Overall, my trip to London last week was wonderful; The hotel
was stunning, the Book of Mormon was spectacular and Canada Day was a drunken
street party and I couldn’t have asked for more. That said there was one little
flaw with experience, and that was the person I went with .
I love my work wife to bits but, holy bananas we holiday
differently. And that’s probably the best way to put it, we don’t holiday in
the same way. And because of that I got cranky, and she’ll say without a doubt,
she believes the issue was with me because I wasn’t going to start a fight and
just bit my tongue, however cause and effect come to mind.
There were 3 main differences; how slept, how ate, and how
we spent our free time…. Which is basically everything in the grand scheme of
things.
Let start with how we slept; she is basically a toddler. She
needs at least 1 nap, if not two a day and these last from 2 – 4 hours and if
she doesn’t get them she becomes unbearable. I on the other hand, sleep at night… like
an adult.
How we like to eat is up next. I like to explore when I’m
somewhere new. Find hidden gems and try new food, eat things I can’t get at
home. She on the other hand, likes fast food and sees no other options.
Last up, how we spend our free time; I like to spend as little
time as possible in the room. I’m somewhere different I want to explore, shop
and do things. She on the other hand is very content in the room and doesn't like to leave it. Being in the
room drivers me crazy.
These are the 3 main issues; there were others, like she doesn’t
tip and she comes across borderline rude when dealing with people… and the list
goes on but those 3 bugged me the most.
I can hear you now asking how I had a good time, despite
these little issues… I ditched her. After the shit show that was there first night;
dragging her up from a nap and them dragging to a show she didn’t want to go
to, but really enjoyed once I got her there. Then going to Macdonald’s for
dinner…. I learned my lesson. My fun was up to me.
So, when she “needed” her nap on Canada Day I went back to
the square alone. Made some new friends, met up with some old ones and partied
like a Canadian and I had an awesome time doing so.
The trip back was a nightmare, but, that’s a story for
another time. Anyways, I am back at work tomorrow, so I need to get my shit
together. But before I go I have this question for you; what is your idea of
the perfect holiday? Let me know if the comments below. And as always, stay and
play safe.
Love,
The Honest Bitch
