Today is a momentos day. Today marks one year since our return from our megamoon. How has it been a year? We’ve now been home much longer than we were ever away, which is hard to comprehend.

Singapore was the last stop on our trip and we loved it. We treated ourselves whilst there with a Singapore Sling at Raffles, a trip to Universal and a much nicer hotel than we’d become accustomed to. It was the perfect way to finish what I can’t deny was the best experience of my life.

Coming home was hard. I remember lying in bed on the night before our 14 hour flight home and crying. What would happen when we got home? How would we cope? What would we do for work? Where would we live? All of a sudden big decisions that had sunken to the back of our mind needed to be made. We were very excited to see our family and friends, but the rest of it… eek!

We had the most wonderful taxi driver to the airport. He listened to our stories and told us about his life. It gave us a great last experience in Singapore and to our trip in general. A memory that will last with me forever was stepping out of the car into the South-East Asian humidiy for the last time before entering the airport. When you’d been living in 30 degree temperatures for nearly 9 months, realising that temperatures like that won’t be normal in 20 hours time was a hard pill to swallow.

So, what have we been up to in the last year? Let me give you a low down.

I got a new job that I love as a Project Coordinator.

Simon got a new job building super yachts.

We moved back to Plymouth and put our house on the market.

And… We’ve kept trying to travel as much as possible. In the last year we have:

Been on four trips abroad which has seen us visit five countries (Denmark, Sweden, Norway, The Netherlands and Ireland). Three new for me and four new for Simon.

We’ve also travelled a lot around the UK with a few trips to Wiltshire and Yorkshire to see family and other trips to London at New Years and also to York. We’ve tried to visit places we’ve never been nearer to home as well which we’ve enjoyed. North Devon and the Valley of the Rocks was a definite highlight.

We have quite a few exciting things on the horizon. Two that I can’t say anything about as they are hen and stag doos, but our upcoming cruise in August is starting to get us very excited, as is a weekend in Windsor where we’ll be going to Thorpe Park, Windsor Castle and indoor skydiving. Fun!!! If anyone has any suggestions for weekend trips for us, please let us know!

I always thought that travelling for that long would satisfy my inner wanderer, but to be honest… it’s only fuelled a fire. I probably watch more travel videos, follow more Instagram travel pages and add to my bucket list more than ever before. The only difference now, is that we have to plan carefully with holiday days and save our pennies more fruguly.

Some may think we are a little lost and that we havent fully settled back home, but what I say to that is…
