The Ireland trip is fast approaching! It just a few weeks I’ll be heading to Europe for the first time and spending a week exploring Dublin and around Ireland.
I can’t wait to make the trip a reality, but it still feels weird to me. It still doesn’t feel like it’s actually going to happen.
The excitement for the trip still hasn’t seemed to hit me though. I feel I should be getting more and more excited, however, the daily grind of life occupies my mind 24/7, not allowing me to get too excited with the present being too stressful at the moment. I can only see what is in front me and right now, it’s that next work deadline.
Does anyone else get this way? You know you have a trip coming, there is work to be done (packing, ironing out details, booking tours, etc.) but the day to day hustle of life makes any kind of excitement almost alien to you. I know the trip is there, it’s going to happen, but I can’t seem to get too excited (at least not yet).
I’m preparing. My suitcase is out of the closet, clothes are getting pulled together, and the itinerary is coming together (even partially printed out!) and plans will continue throughout the rest of April. But despite being so close, it feels so far away.
So tell me, do you ever feel that despite a trip being close it still feels so distant to you and you just can feel anything emotionally? Do you think it’s an odd feeling or something that is completely normal?
Let me know what you think on Twitter or in the comment section below.

I’ve experienced this. It’s usually because there is so much other stuff that I want to get completed and out of the way, so that when the trip comes, I can focus on that and nothing else.
