Did you realise that when you go on a vacation, you tend to wake up earlier than you usually would? Of course we are not talking about guided tours where most of us get herded around like animals. We don't get to savour enough of the local culture and we can't even remember half of what we've seen last summer vacation?!
I always associate waking up early with my holidays. I am totally not a morning person. And so I am totally dysfunctional in the morning. My eyes can barely open. I had to sip cups of coffee in the hotel before any decent side of me could be portrayed to the outside world. And my usual grumble on holidays: Why do I have to wake up so bloody early? I'm on a vacation for heaven's sake!!!
The usual replies I get from anyone who tried to wake me up during my travels would be:
"The early bird catches the worm!" - I'm not a bird and I don't eat worms!!!
"We need to avoid the morning traffic"- at 6 am in the morning?! What traffic are you trying to avoid???
"We get to see more on our trip if we wake up earlier." - I repeat my eyes could barely open dear!! Can't you see? I will be missing most part of what I see anyway!
All right. You get the point don't you? I like to start a day on my holidays at an earthly hour. What's your favourite time to get up for your holidays? Don't forget the morning worm is waiting!
