Ever felt like you needed a do-over trip after a trip that went poorly? I just got back on Friday and truly did have a wonderful time for the most part, but I can't stop thinking about how short-changed I feel. What happened is that I have a chronic health problem for about 20 years that flairs up from time to time. It's been acting up the last 2 months before my trip but was sort of under control - until I got there. My first day things got really bad and I was in pretty intense pain for the whole first half of my trip and pretty much recovering during the whole second half. It definitely held me back from doing a lot of what I wanted, and I was way too sick to eat much of anything. I had to cancel some dining reservations that I had been really looking forward to. I basically spent my entire first day and a half calling pharmacies in Orlando to try to find my very obscure medication, which no one had so I ended up waiting until I got home anyway.
This is such a first world problem - my vacation not being good enough. I feel guilty that I should be grateful I had the opportunity to go on vacation at all. But I waited 5 years to be able to take a trip and kind of can't help but feel disappointed and a little heartbroken. This trip was supposed to be me finally having something nice in my life after many years of..... let's just say having more than my fair share of "not nice" in my life.
Now I'm looking into making another reservation for maybe late this summer, but I don't know. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Maybe I just need to commiserate with others who've had their trips ruined too.
