Holiday – such a lovely word… A word that creates an entire series in your head, of things you will do, see and experience. From sleeping in the finest sheets Belgium can offer to feeling every grain of sand on the sunset beaches of Algarve. The term holiday doesn’t give credit to the feeling it stirs within every individual – each different but equally desired. A holiday is kind of like Spring Love that rejuvenates and gives new meaning to an otherwise dreary morning. It puts a warm smile that was trapped beneath the icy reality you carried on your face. Holidays are not just about going to places and enjoying the 'new' sights and sounds – but anything that you have wanted so much to do but couldn’t because of all the routine elements of your life. So your holiday just might be taking a few days off work with late mornings and afternoons spent in the maze of a library and finished off with a midnight cup of coffee in front of a crackling fireplace. Even while thinking of taking a holiday, your mind has already broken free of the shackles of the ordinary. Even as you’re taking the same route, you hear the sound of your shoes on the cobbled streets – a sweet and unfamiliar sound that is more melodious than the greatest symphonies of all time. While booking tickets you are already smiling thinking of the trance the Spanish guitar will take you into. On your way to the station or airport you’re already licking your lips at the thought of the heavy cream that is generously smothered on your pastry, which you will order in a couple of hours. You’ve already thought of souvenirs you will buy at a store or keep the local station ticket stub as one. It’s strangely drawing you into this wonderful world of dreams and possibilities that may change your life or just bring out the smile that’s been patiently waiting to break out…
