In 2010, Cheryl and I stayed at the Grand Palladium Resort. In 2024, we returned to stay at the higher end Lady Hamilton side of the same resort. These pictures were taken in the same place. The entry way to the building we stayed in 2010.
The last 14 years have been a mix of highs and lows, and we have only recently started getting back to some highs again, and this trip was definitely a reminder of how far we have come.
In the picture on the left, we are 36. Our trips were generally an escape to remember that we are not just mom and dad and worker bees in the workforce. We are Tim & Cheryl, two young kids fighting against all odds to prove ourselves. These trips were our reminder to live life and enjoy the world around us.
The picture on the right is a little different. Sure, we are older, with more wrinkles, and more grey hairs, but the thing you can't see in the picture is that we are no longer escaping from anything. We are already there and these trips are now adventures to push ourselves and to experience the world. Not because we need to, but because we want to. It is not so much a getaway, as an adventure with the person who understands you and supports you most in this world. A shared experience between two long-time soulmates that no one else will fully comprehend.
