I love to travel. Anyone who knows me already knows that. Their is one thing I hate about traveling that people might be surprised at. I hate leaving my work. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. It feels uncontrollable & uncomfortable. Am I a workaholic because I like to be at work? or does that just mean I enjoy my chosen path?
I have about 10000 butterflies in my stomach right now as I sit in the Ottawa airport waiting for my next flight to fun. I worry about the people who didn't their pics sooner than later. I worry about my sister who helped non stop get as much done as humanly possible. Worry. Worry. Worry. Oh and then there is the guilt. The guilt of others that say they want to travel but cannot afford it, and they say "it must be nice". I want everyone to be able to see the world with as much excitement as I do. I really do. I do know that I need the break, I just wish everyone could break with me!
I know that when you start doing things that you love and really want, not everyone is going to understand. I love being able to travel and have the freedom to do so with no children, big mortgage or student loans. These are all choices for me. They may not work for everyone but they work for me at this stage of my life.
I know it will be difficult to quiet my mind with the zillion of things that go through it in a day. I am hoping that the sound of the ocean, the company I will keep and the sand between my toes will help!
*Update* since I started the post. Here is what happened.
As I was just sitting here feeling guilty & thinking about work. Enrrrrrriquo (a fun flight attentant for my next flight) with 6 R's just sat himself down and asked me where I was going. I said to Jamaica and told him of my guilt. Why do people just feel the need to come up to me to chat? LOL...anyways.....Enriquo told me that I was creating revenue for the people at the resort, so to make sure I party it up and enjoy myself! Also, that I will come back from vacation with a million more ideas in my head than before I left! I meet the funniest & most amazing people at airports.
So thank You Enriquo & everyone else who forced me away from the computer & from staying home and working some more.
Thank you very much.

(11.13.10)Taking care of yourself is also helping others. Check your guilt with your baggage and leave it there. Anyone who knows you and loves you realizes this is what you need and what you deserve! You work extremely hard and give 110% of yourself to others. Have a blast and come back refreshed and rejuvenated. xoxoxo
(11.13.10)Hi Rachel, Just read your post and felt like I had to come up and talk to ya. lol Actually I have been doing a series of posts on young islanders in business and I would like to do you next.
