I am a teacher and in my neck of the woods we are about to have a two week break. Our local government in an attempt to get people spending money and supporting tourism offered a voucher to pay $ for $ up to $200. I booked a small cabin for three nights near a place I have never been and am so looking forward to the time away from people (there will be others there but I don't know them) I have planned my day along with my polite nod to passerbys. A friend asked if I wanted her to come along, I said no. She could not understand how I would go somewhere by myself. I pointed out that if I did not then I would never do anything. She does not go on holidays unless she has someone to go with her. It is so hard to describe for her the utter relief I will feel when I don't have to be overly chatty to someone I can give my polite nod with a look of yeh I see you just keep on walking no need to talk.
I totally get it!! My friends are constantly planning girls' getaways and I want no part of it. A getaway means getaway FROM people, not be crammed into a hotel room or cabin with them.
My thoughts exactly
It sounds absolutely lovely! Don't forget to nap!
Part of the plan I want to get up really early to watch the sunrise and have a swim before others start up. Go back to the cabin and have breakfast. Go for a walk through the bush. Then read/crochet/watch TV/sleep/play on the tablet during the hot sunburny time of the day followed by a sunset swim and dinner.
Im like that sometimes... Have a great vacation...
More a minibreak it is only three days and the rest of the time I will be at work getting all of the paperwork done that needs doing to get ready for next term.
An introverted teacher , seems like an oxymoron .
I can not handle large groups of people, making small talk exhausts me, I don't think I am a complete introvert but I get peopled out pretty easily. If I have to listen to small talk I tune out and smile aimlessly and never ask me to repeat what was said I just can't. I need time away from people to recharge.
