I had a good time but I am still leaving disappointed.
On my last vacation to Jamaica I connected with someone, and it made the trip so much more awesome. I felt good about myself. I want that to happen on every vacation. I was hoping for the same thing this time; to be with someone who really does like me and shows it. (I’m probably going to get called on that last sentence, but I don’t have the energy to thesaurus-ize it. Please keep a clean mind and I do have friends who like me.)
So in comparison, I’m feeling lonely.
The trip started very well. When the shuttle to the hotel picked me up at the airport, it was already filled with friends I knew. We started catching up immediately. Poetically, at the end of the trip, I left totally alone in the airport shuttle. Apparently to sit in an airport and do nothing for two hours.
Now, if you can’t be with someone flirty, being with friends helps a lot. And I spent a lot of time with them. I saw the sun rise twice. There were several times where I only had one meal in a 24 hour period. (I may in another one of those right now.) The sun was blazing hot, and I got a bit of a burn at a great pool party. This morning/late last night, I met a group of Australians and got to know them as they analyzed my life for me. It meant a lot to me that when a friend was leaving, she called me up because she wanted to say goodbye personally. (Leaving me with one and a half hours of sleep today.) And I made people around me happy. I like that.
