Recap of my week of vacation 

Good morning !
I am finally back from our week of vacation; in fact I just arrived yesterday That was many of āfirstsā for me: First time taking the plane, First time meeting Alexās parents.. and well, first time being together for that much time in a row.
The way there and the plane itself wasnāt as bad as I thought itād be.. I only freaked out a bit before taking the 3-ish hour drive of bus to the plane, and then I was completely fine. The way back on the other hand.. was quite chaotic
But first, There was really only three main things I wanted to do while there;
ā See an iceberg in the middle of July
Yes !!! That one got ticked right off the bat, haha even before we landed our pilot/flight attendant informed us of a teeny tiny iceberg in the middle of the sea. I did saw another one more āup-closeā while we were driving around, but alas I couldnāt take a picture of it.
ā³ Havenāt seen any moose
Given we have lots of that at home too but you know, I had been told there was mooses everywhere..
ā³ Didnāt went swimming
While the town we had just left was in the middle of an heatwave around 33-38ā, this one was more around 18-24ā ā¦dropping as far as 8 degrees at night time!! so erm, yeaaah but no.
As the two we didnāt do can still be done at home AND I got to see the one thing we donāt have here, iām pretty happy with that. I can now say that iāve seen an iceberg in real life ahah!
Memorable events;
ā„ Believe it or not, we visited a town called Ā« Dildo Ā» !! Probably one of the funniest town name iāve ever heard There was a restaurent with statues dressed as fishermans, as of which one was called āCapātain Dildoā ā you bet I needed a picture of that, instead of the blend town sign! ahah
ā„ We also went to the most eastern point in North-America! While the weather was lovely when we got there, by the time we reached the top of the hill it was drizzling and the thic fog made it so we couldnāt see a thing, not even the water down the cape xD Like his mother said, you could see the fence and it was like the world just ended there.
ā„ We were lucky enough to have a clement weather to allow us to go sail-boating! While I didnāt saw any moose there, I got to see atleast three whales !! As of which, I could photograph a portion of itās back there..
Being naturally tan, I thought my skin couldnāt burn ā¦ well I was wrong ! I didnāt put any sunscreen on, and I ended up absolutely taking a snooze on the boat ā face up in the air Result; the top of both my shoulders, aswell as my face (nose & forehead, mainly) got burned.. I also have a wierd 3-color tan on my left thigh ahah as I was wearing capris and I didnāt wanted my tattoo to have a random line in it so I raised it. It just lined at two different places anyway ā but no burns!
ā„ After our boat trip, we went back to one of our previously visited area to see a major part of the town light up at night time. It was so pretty, but alas I donāt have momās big quality camera ā so my phoneās clearly donāt do it justice.
ā„ Because you canāt say vacation without a bit of lazy-ins, we took some time to snooze and wake up late.
We also finished watching season 2 of āOne Punch Manā, and the season 3 of āMy Hero Academiaāā¦ kinda sad now I donāt really have anything to watch ā as we need to wait for more of Seven Deadly Sins aswell as My Hero. Though we did started a new one called āDr. Stoneā, itās releasing one episode per week(s) so.. no binge-watching with that one.
Overall I had a really nice trip. Though I spent 8 days without my two dachshunds, I coped better than I imagined ā it helped that I had a big Berneese Mountain Dog to keep me company instead of them! ahah. So wierd to sleep-in in the mornings without being woked up by Sheik at 6:30/7am to give her breakfast!
The plane and meeting his parents went so smooth too, of course anxiety made me panic over nothing.. For the plane trip āgoingā we were delayed by ~20mins, a plane before us had needed maintenance right in the way of our plane to go. but erh, whatever.
For the plane trip ācoming backā, however .. we were supposed to leave the airport at 5:15am, we ended up getting delayed until 5:35am because of a safety check. Then we proceeded to get seated in the plane, when they noticed a tire was more flat that it shouldāve been .. so we ended up waiting 2HOURS, sat in the plane, for the maintenance guys to come and fill said tire. (as other planes needed it before it was reported, we were shoved at the end of the list..) ā We only had an hour in-between leaving the plane and taking our bus for the remaining 3.5hours-ish drive homeā¦ and welp, we totally missed it by a whole hour. Good thing my parents came to pick us up and driving all the way back home and we didnāt had to wait for the next bus, which that the next one was at almost one ā so 4hours wait at the airport, but man it left me way more tired than needed
Any trip planned for you this summer (or in the past months)?
Travelling can sometimes just be a pain in the backside, but Iām sorry, I cannot get over that Capt. Dildo picture, the fact that thereās a place named that has me cackling like no tomorrow though Iām sorry to hear you got a little too much sun!
Iknow right?
must be the most pictured statue\town sign, hahah!
Ahh thatās okay! Thanksfully iām alright now- it wasnāt burnt too too badly. In fact, my nose and forehead is peeling now!
Ooh, your post made me want to hop on the plane and go on a vacay. I just graduated and have been working my ass off for the last 3 months.
If you can, do it! Itās so important to take a break once in a while.. This was my first time taking a week off, after ~8months of working barista full time
much needed!
The pictures are lovely! Looks like a beautiful place to visit. Glad you had fun!
It was! the fact it was a coastal area made me feel just like home, so I didnāt really got homesick at all. I just didnāt had my dogs nor my things
so after a whileā¦ I was happy to come back ahah
I laughed really hard at that tiny iceberg.
Ahahah an iceberg is an iceberg
when they announced that I honestly had trouble finding it at first- I was expecting something so much biggerā¦ i just went Ā« ā¦is THAT an iceberg?! Ā»
Wow, it looks like you had an awesome trip! I already had my vacation for the summer but it wasnāt as grand as yours was. Hope you catch up on your rest!
Thank you!
Iām definately more refreshed, today was back to work for me ā it wasnāt so bad, I gotta say.
Where did you went on vacation? Or did you just stayed home ?
Sounds like you had a great holiday!
awww except for the delays it sounds like your trip was the best Kristina!! I canāt believe that town was called dildo hahaha. And iceberg sightings?! So neat

Thanks for sharing. I felt like I got a mini vacation too.
yeah! good thing the delay was on going home and not going there because it wouldnāt had started on a right foot, ahah!
Iknow eh
