Czech this out
Corny title I know.
Recent trip to Prague marks the end of my weekend Europe travels. The idea of jet setting off in the sunset to a European city on the weekend is oh-so-idyllic. Europe is beautiful and there is an eye-opening quality about everything. But the reality of weekend travels is often not so glam. Case in point, my recent Prague trip had me waking up at 3.30am to get to the airport and returning home past midnight on Sunday night. Add to that the 'maximiser' mentality to squeeze in as much sight-seeing, wining and dining as possible. So by the end of the trip, it often does not feel like I had a holiday at all.
So I am really excited about the upcoming road trip over Easter to Wales. Not least because it will be with some of my most favourite people in London. We will be staying at a farmhouse near the beach, no early wake up calls, no infuriating security checks at the airport, no peering at travel guides or maps. Just blissful rest.
I can hardly believe that the first three months of this year has already passed us by. Perhaps it's not so much as being London as it is being away from home (and being away from the comforts of home cooked meals and vacuumed floors). I can hardly lay claim to a wild, raging social life but time has flown like a roller coaster ride, and an emotional one at that.

Oh I'm so flattered! I think you're right about time going fast - having to look after yourself makes you feel really busy.
You should have known already that you're one of my favorites!
Yes, I think effective time mgmt is one of my key objectives this yr. Oh dear, did I just sound like some HR brief?
Very interesting article. Prague looks great and the best way to explore this city is to get lost in it.
I spent one week there. Prague is amazing city. It is full of beautiful squares, beautiful architecture, and beautiful art. Also I really enjoyed my accommodation, because Prague hotels are not expensive and offers free transportation from airport.
Just look around at the great monuments, the Prague Castle with the Golden Lane and the St Vitus Cathedral, the facades in different colors and styles along the Vltava, the 1001 peaks all around, the numerous cathedrals, basilicas, churches, synagogues, the national theater, the lovely little alleys and so much more.
