Going straight from an air bnb in one place, with one group to an air bnb in another place with another group of people was a bit of a shock to the system.
I realised I hadn't paced myself in terms of managing my social energy, and found it difficult to bring my A-game to the second leg. Which was a shame because it was a huge big house and all paid for by the in-laws, so I worry that I didn't come across as grateful as I ought.
