Oh damn π I'm sorry you had such a terrible time!
I always like the idea of a vacation, getting away from what you know and enjoying life somewhere else for a week or so... but at the same time... I like my home, haha. π It's comfortable and the neighbours are quiet and all of my stuff is here!
My last vacation was about 11 years ago and whilst it was enjoyable at the time, when we got home I just wished that we spent all that money on other, more useful things instead. π
I get where you're coming from and kinda feel the same! It's why I usually don't go on long vacations. With where we live now though, I do miss nature a lot, so small vacations to forests and such are a nice thought :D
Money spending on vacation is something I have a problem with aswell! Just gotta turn off the thinking and go with the flow π
