Hello everyone. Como estas? Comment vas-tu ?Wie geht es dir or How are you? For today, i will be sharing with you guys my last weekend getaway with my friends.
Who loves last minute trip and decision? I guess i'm not the only one here who often decides on a last minute trip. Usually the the unplanned trips are the successful one, right?
An unplanned trip is exciting because there is no schedule, no planning and can be tweaked to the hour's needs and everyone will show up(based on experienced). I actually had a terrible experience with a well-planned trip and adventures with friends which would usually end in in just our dreams and imagination. Booking in advance contradicts some of the biggest pearls of traveling and often times leads in cancellation.
Have you ever had that wanderlust itch in the middle of the day, and you just wished you could be whisked away to some sun, go somewhere far and just wanted to relax and sit back? This is exactly how i feel last Saturday. I was just rest in my bed that whole day. Enjoying and contemplating about weekends and work. I suddenly remember a new resort within the city.
It was already 4pm and its raining. But my mind could not concentrate and wanted to explore. So i decided to call my friends on Messenger and ask if they would go on a night swimming in a nearby resort. To my surprised everyone was up for the idea of a night swimming.My travel pal was someone I knew for half my life, they had been with me through ups and down. When it comes to travel, no plan is a bad one as long as you are going places (literally). It was just a quick plan that everyone agrees. We plan for our foods and i cooked the rice hurriedly. The rest of the squad decided to bring fish, meat and drinks. Also fruits and chips were bought along the way.
So we met up and rich our destination which was Leis Resort in Buenavista, Pagadian. It was just a short trip, since it was near the city proper, probably, it will just take 10 minutes while riding a motorcycle. Unplanned ones make you feel like you are just flowing as a river, you don't know where you will be the next moment. Literally, we were all just in awe when we arrived at our destination.
It was 5:45 pm when we arrived there and the beautiful sunset smiled at us. This is literally the weekend i've imagined of. It was solace, it was peaceful and the scenery was just so relaxing. Spending time in the water offers a psychologically relaxing experience as well as physical effects. It allows your body to relax and contemplate for a while.
We prepared all the foods , and started grilling the meat, also had great wine and other food. Grilling is always perfect during swimming. Grilling is versatile. Food can be cooked directly over the flames or coals or indirectly with the food sitting off the heat source and mind you, it smells so good. While cooking, we were just talking about life and just laughing about our experiences.
The mood was just so great. There's nothing quite like a swim to wash away tension and relax your mind and body with the delicious food and good company it was just a perfect moment.
Pictorial time
Of course, everybody's favorite! Pictorials or the picture taking time. Its not always everyday that we gets to a see a beautiful scenery so lets cherish every moment.
They say that a picture is worth a thousand words. With a whole collection of pictures, you, therefore, have complete documentation of your exciting adventures on a weekends, right? We wasted no time and took many selfies and groupies in every area of the resort. I strongly believes that moment that can never happen again and never be photographed again. Each snap you take is therefore completely unique in itself and you can capture the best. I tend to notice much more because I’m always looking for photos.
I know times like this will not always be forever. At some point we will all be a busy adults hustling in life so Pictures and memories like this matter. However, lets put balance in everything and it should also be noted that even if you love taking photos, do not spend the entire vacation looking through the lens of a camera.
With the right balance between making extraordinary moments and saving them by taking photos on vacation, you will have an incredible stay in that unexpected weekend getaway.
Finding the Right circle and Travel friends
This is a crucial one, finding the right circle and travel friends matter. No matter how beautiful your destination is if you have a wrong circle then the experience will surely be different. Make sure that you already get along well in everyday life with the persons or group of friends before leaving.
Good travel partners often share the ability to laugh at the same things. choosing your circle is a pivotal decision that can significantly impact your life. Surrounding yourself with positive, supportive, and like-minded individuals can empower you to achieve your goals, enhance your well-being, and create a fulfilling travel journey and enjoying some of the best moments in life. Friends can impact your travels in ways you never imagined.
It is a powerful way to make friendships based on common interests as you create new experiences, you also forged a stronger bond of friendship. Travel is the perfect way to discover the unexpected. While this quick getaways have helped us bond with each other it was also a perfect moment to really know them. With your friends, you might discover who is really spontaneous, and who needs routine to function. People who love you under any circumstance are an important factor when navigating through life. But one thing for sure, traveling with friends guarantees an abundance of fun and laughter.
Overall, this unexpected weekend trip surely releases our stress and feels rejuvenated again. Weekend trip and getaways provide an opportunity to rest and recharge, so we can start the new week with renewed energy and focus. Its a personal time to thin and contemplate and prioritize personal time for ourselves and our loved ones. Relaxation may be in a form of sleeping, staying at home or like us in a quick getaway adventure to recharge our mind and soul. Moreover, Weekends are perfect for reflection and planning. Weekends offer a chance to reflect on the past week especially with our own actions and plan for the week ahead. This can help us prioritize our tasks and set achievable goals, making us more productive and efficient during the workweek. So do not hesitate to spend wise on your weekends. I could really say that it was well spent quick getaway. Almost put in mind that weekends are a crucial time for us to rest, relaxed , and rejuvenate. Prioritizing personal time, hobbies, reflection, planning, and health can set us up for a successful and productive workweek.
So i hope you enjoy my Quick trip getaway on weekends. Thank you. See you on my next weekend trip.
