Vacation from Family

When one vacations, the intent is to be removed from all familiarity and allow one to reboot and regain a new perspective when returning to a daily grind.

In this case, I'm back home on Oahu to take time off from work and also participate in a running event with a friend. I've decided to really enjoy my vacation and then spend time with my family at the tail end. Because the minute I connect with my family, I will be consumed to think of them each day I'm here. I would be calling, planning, and meeting with them during most of my trip. This would leave me with really no time for my self.

I've decided to apply this method on this current trip and it appears to be working. I didn't feel pressed to constantly get together with my family unless the purpose of the trip is strictly with family.

I've been able to really be engaged with my surroundings and discover different things on this trip. Some of my photos reflect on the general sense of my trip. Which allows me to be adventurous and with no regard to structure.

I leave tomorrow, but I know I've taken in as much as I could. Note to self, apply this method next time on next vacation located near family.
