… On the one hand, sadness at having to leave these places and people and activities that I have been enjoying so much for the past three weeks; and some fear because all these wonderful experiences are coming to and end (for now).
On the other, an itch to get back home as soon as possible, without doing any further exploration (which could actually be fun) on my return road trip; partly because I’m getting nervous about the work that I need to get done; and partly because of my desire to get back to (other) places and people and activities that I love at home as well as an eagerness to keep up the momentum of liveliness that I rediscovered on this vacation and apply it to my daily life back at home, too.
