Sounds too good to be true . . .
Fuck it. $30 well spent.

Traveling is in many ways like developing a new habit of saying goodbye - to people, to places and to other things that grab our attention and make us, for a moment, consider what life would be like in a new place.

The art of saying goodbye is something that becomes easier over time. Saying goodbye is really just an inevitable reality for most people I meet. It was simpler I think before social media.
On the other hand, I know it's easy to ownplay goodbyes when they are so frequent but in some respects it never gets easier. Getting older and saying goodbye to my brother and parents eye tougher anytime.

Me too. Reminds of some people traveling in hostels that I can't fuckin stand...the ones that only do cultural things and museums and look down on people who like to go out and drink when traveling. I like to do both, as I'm sure most people do. Smug travellers can be unbearable.

Can't wait, been a while since I've gone somewhere warm!

Wish I could help, but I've never been. I'm pretty sure there's some people here who have been or could help. When on holiday I kind of enjoy the cloudy days. Have fun man.
