Im Back. I tried to think of a cool 'Im back title, but this is all i could come up with.

Well, It was only two weeks but i feel like I've been away for a month. I know, I know. a lot of people say that 'post' holiday to come across like they were SOOO chilled that time stood still for them, and that its worth mentioning so they can rub it in the face of Janet in accounts. But...i do, not because of the chilled thing, but because i did enjoy every moment of it. From the pyramids at Chicken Pizza, to the Sinatra caves and lakes to the Xenses theme park and the distinct lack of spicey food. (ok that last one was a disappointment more than anything else).
Ok, travel blog over.
I’d love to say it’s great to be back in old Blighty, but every inch of my exposed skin—now screaming at me and turning blue with frostbite—would call me a liar. I’ve gone from a glorious 28°C to a brutal -1°C, and let me tell you, no amount of free whisky in first class can prepare you for that kind of Welcome Home slap in the face.
Yes, I had an amazing time. No, I won’t be spamming you with a thousand holiday photos like some sunburned travel blogger. Years ago, you could just not show up to the post-holiday slideshow party—now social media drags us all in, kicking and liking. That’s my wife’s job anyway. Me? I’ve got a few gems that are actually relevant to what I’m doing here, but you’ll have to wait and see.
Other than that, the journey home took 24 hours, jet lag is very real, and my solution? Crack open a bottle of duty-free tequila, have one last Paloma with my wife, and then pass out for an ungodly amount of time.
I don’t think I’ve missed much—gained a few Facebook followers, answered a couple of emails, racked up a few more bills. Life, as always, continues. So, once my brain catches up with my body, it’s time to dust off the Shopify saddle and get back to… peddling? Pedaling? Whatever.
See you soon. Adiós.
