Homecoming
Whenever I plan to go back to my hometown it is always a bittersweet feeling. LA has become my home and I always hate leaving it. I don't like traveling either; I like being in a different destination but I don't enjoy the process especially long trips.
I also don't have that big a homesick feeling for DC. I enjoy seeing my family , but they way I'm wired I don't need to see them, I'm good with just talking with them. I make sure to go to visit though because I know some people enjoy seeing me.
Last year I travelled back to start my recording of the new album and attend my grandmas 65th bday party! I also got to attend the induction ceremony of my aunt as a minister and visit with friends I hadn't seen in a long time. The trips are always too infrequent and too short . This one is jammed pack with many obligations and is a few days shorter than last time. Somehow everything always gets done. And what doesn't get done will happen on another trip.
Hopefully in the new year and east coast tour or another adventure will bring me back that way.
I'm unsure because I have a lot of destination vacations planned for next year. For now I'll just enjoy all the layovers and taxis rides and inclement weather to get to my final destination, thankful that I've made it and I am welcomed back home with open arms.
