Anywhere but here
To steal a quote from one of the telecom ads: I miss my blog like Harmattan misses pawpaw! Everyday I think I should be writing, mainly for myself as this is my journal of life. Without it, I have nothing to reflect what I've been up to.
So here it is: I spent two (incredibly fabulous) weeks in Ghana over Easter and have been back for the past two weeks. I am deeply slumped in post-holiday-exhaustive-disorder, which I may have made up, but nonetheless feels like a very real illness. I feel constantly tired, a bit down and missing my car!
Worst of all, since January, I've had my trip to Ghana to look forward to, nothing could really get me down as I knew come Easter time I'd be hit by the humid air at Kotoka International Airport! And now... there is nothing to look forward to. I am stuck in this Groundhog Day that is life. Wake up, go to work, come home, eat, sleep, wake up, go to work, etc.
So for the past few days, I've found myself scouring the cheap flights website, looking for a getaway somewhere relatively cheap in Europe. Nice, Marseille, Barcelona or Pisa, I'm not quite sure where I'll end up, but sometime soon you'll find me there over a weekend or so. Tips are welcome!

I sooooooo hear you!! I had Ghana in December to look forward to and afterwards 'post-holiday-exhaustive-disorder' set in super-quick. It did not help that the weather was so bad in the Netherlands. I think as summer approaches, things will only get better! BTW, let me know if you end up in Amsterdam or Den Haag for a weekend getaway!
Oooh, you've tempted me Abena. Recently saw a "quick getaways" clip about Amsterdam and thought, "I'd love to go there, but who do I know there...?". Now I know who to call on if/when I get there!
And I know exactly what you mean about the weather, the day after I arrived (the 17th of April no less), I was met by a hailstorm outside my door! But you're right, it's getting brighter each day.
OMG, I was in Ghana over the Easter holiday too! I went to Kwahu and let me just say: one of the best times I've ever had in Ghana!!!!!! I wanna do it all over again.
Really?! I wish I had known, would've been nice with an IRL meetup! I completely agree, had the best time there, because for the first time in years I was there on holiday again. I'm just hoping that by this time next year I'll be back for good. Fingers crossed!
How about Italy? I'm planning to visit Nana in Italy when I get back...
