Holiday v.s. Travelling
My perspective of holiday has changed through the years.
A holiday for me is a resting period. Doing nothing, saying nothing, letting all the thoughts flow in and out my mind without worrying right or wrong. It's a very passive kind of relaxation, but the best. The ideal holiday would be laying within someone's arms peacefully without doing or saying anything, but loved.
Travelling is definitely not a holiday. A lot of preparations, researches and organisations are involved and there is always some sort of purpose to be fulfilled. You have to be very active. It's very exciting but tiring. I think I either am getting older, less adventurous or have enough travelling already. It's not as appearing to me as before anymore. There is a conference in Praha which I fall in love with in the first sight; the bridge, the hot chocolate, the music, and the fairy-tale romantic atmosphere. Many ppl would expect me to jump on it without a second thought and make the dream come true again. However, I decided not to apply.
There is no much point to be any of those places by myself again. I have had the best time of my life there. The ppl, the timing, the mood and most importantly me are all different now. They are all gone. They are all gone 2 years ago. I am gonna feel depressed, sad and lonely if I go. The trip is just gonna be a business purpose rather than a holiday or even a travelling. However, what strike me is that I realise the only way to provoke my eagerness to revisit those special places again is be with someone special, someone I love. I know I am still gonna be very emotional when I get there, but having someone to share those with would give those places a new meaning.
I wish someday I can go back and fulfill this dream with someone I love.

I did some holiday and traveling with my new wife :) Going back to old familiar places has a different feeling, but together we made many new good memories. You are right about going there with a loved one.
Because of some challanges with travel planning, we had to skip Slovakia. I wonder how would I have felt having a cold beer on the upper square. I must say, that I'm still looking forward to it :) Of the three place, time and people, the people is the most important :)
