emotions

There are always emotions involved....
That's just who we are
traveling, meeting people and new friends,
What we can do, what we have done, all comes in to play.

Joy at meeting old friends again,
Sadness to know time will come to an end.
Thrilling to be heading back home,
overshadowed by the loss of leaving.

When differences are welcomed ,
similarities enjoyed and compared,
Sometimes even found lacking
Surprises accepted even expected.

Two weeks is not enough time
to say goodbye.
