Gouna: Just what I needed

You know that mood you get into where you wake up in the morning and really wish you didn't have to get out of bed? I was in that mood for 2-3 weeks due to thinking too much and not getting enough sleep every night and just getting super frustrated from everything! It happens from time to time and its a sure sign to take a VACATION! I was lucky enough to have a long weekend so went to Gouna with Lina, Hazem, and Coco. I couldn't have asked for a better group of people! I just have an awesome time with every one of these 3 people even when we are doing absolutely nothing, which was what we ended up doing most of the time there! The weekend was made up of us sleeping, singing songs, making fun of each other, and just laughing laughing laughing. Usually in these holidays I pressurize myself to be up early, in the water for the longest time ever, and definately going out at night, just to feel like I made use of every minute of my holiday. But in this vacation, I let it all go and took it very easy. Woke up slowly...ate slowly...went out slowly...we were totally nsync which was great. Gouna is a gorgeous place as well. It was the first time I had stayed there actually; it definately doesn't look like a place you would find in Egypt at all. Very elegant, quiet, and peaceful. I enjoyed listening to the silence alot, enjoyed being silly alot, and just plain had fun. From the Kareoke night, to the pictionary and boggle games, to the french toast we cooked in the morning, to the late nights of singing songs to Coco's guitar playing, to taking 5-10 min nap turns everywhere we went, to the massage I got, just absolutely every stress-free minute of it made me come back with a little more optimism and energy.
