Post trip blues

[wholesomejoe]

I put so much time and effort into making our trip this weekend a blast, that now that its over I have a serious case of the blues. I just want so badly to hold on to the memories we made, and all I seem to be able to do is run through all the moments we had during our trip trying hard not to forget them. I can't concentrate on my work, and I just want to go get my son from school so I can hear him talk about it some more before this all wears off and we go back to normal. I love the feeling and hate it all at the same time. This was one of the best things we've ever done. Is it normal to feel this way after returning from a trip? I feel silly getting this sentimental over it, but we really did have an amazing time and everytime I look at a photo or think about a special moment it almost brings a tear to my eyes. Really having a hard time getting anything done today.

Oh it`s perfectly normal to feel like this when a trip is over

The best way to get over it is to get another trip organised

As soon as we are back home (in fact on the plane home) I`m already planning the next one in my head, and we are usually booking again up within a week of getting home. Flights, if available or asap.

As soon as you see your son get talking about and enjoy every second of it and yes get those pictures up and soak up the memories.

We get our pics on the puter all the time over the winter, it kinda helps till we get back to Orlando and RPR.

I get very emotional at times about our trips, they mean so much and we have the best time ever and make the most of every second. You should see me the day we leave RPR.........it`s not pretty

Big hugs to you, I hope you are cheered up when you see your little boy

perfectly normal I have been like that since our trip last Jan..So I booked a trip for this AUgust ..a longer trip

Definitely normal! When I left Scotland after nearly two weeks there I yearned with every fiber of my being to go back; I would even have dreams that I was back there. I would wake up devastated.

When I moved from FL to live in NY for two years, I would cry just listening to the Wishes soundtrack or Harry Potter music

Totally normal we went in sept for two weeks and we all miss it. For Christmas my kids got me a digital picture frame and loaded all of our vacation pics onto for me, ahhhh love my kids!!! I Look at that frame everyday and remember the amazing time we had as a family !!

I felt that way after our trip to HHN this past October.

You should plan another trip! We can't due to major house repairs and other expenses but as soon as possible we will.

Yep - I felt the same way after leaving.

Me and my daughter still talk about all the fun we had and it was over a year ago that we went.

I hope to get back again someday but everything is so expensive!

This so true, like what has been said start planning another trip, even if its a
year away, it helps. We always go for a week in Oct. for HHN ,this past trip
was our 10th year for HHN but our 28th trip to Universal(been going since 1998).

We got to go back Thanksgiving weekend with my mom(80 years old) she has never been to any kind of park. We had a great time!! she now understands our
love of the parks and is planning on going in Oct. She did not wait till we got back home, she was tearing up as we left the lobby at the RPR.
