So I am in the end stages of planning for a trip in October. I am feeling pretty good about how things are going in terms of getting things accomplished. One big task still on my list (yes I had a task list) was planning out London. This is something I tackled this weekend and I am so happy to have finished. It is a great plan. Then I realized that this plan that I put together totally exemplifies my craziness….
I joke around about lacking even an ounce of spontaneity, I have been told I have contingency plans X-Z planned out before step A has even occurred, my friends tell me I am the one who keeps us on task…. these traits are great for my work planning events, but combined with the fact that I can have a hard time relaxing, my brain never shuts off and I have a millions thought running through my head at all times, I need vacation time to just let go and have some fun.
I thought I was getting better at this…. But this is just proof otherwise….
This is just the first part – I am happy to share more with you if you would like. :)I joke around about lacking even an ounce of spontaneity, I have been told I have contingency plans X-Z planned out before step A has even occurred, my friends tell me I am the one who keeps us on task…. these traits are great for my work planning events, but combined with the fact that I can have a hard time relaxing, my brain never shuts off and I have a millions thought running through my head at all times, I need vacation time to just let go and have some fun.

Now I know, like every good plan the timeline will most likely get thrown out the window at the airport, that we will get stuck in line at customs, the tube will be late or the bus will be stuck in traffic. I know that there is no way we are going to stick to the plan and that is fine. Like every event I’ve done there is a point where you just let go and what happens will happen. I am fine with that because I have a plan and contingency plans…..
Sometimes, I just have to embrace my craziness and realize it is just me.
