I miss waking up in my own bed and especially using my own bathroom! Unless I'm on an exciting trip abroad, after 3 or 4 days I want to be home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-homesick-quickly#post-2076632 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 12:00:59 +0000 ineebee 2076632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I have been moving every year for the past five years, mostly to different cities each year. That plus the fact that I LOVE staying at hotels makes homesickness pretty rare, unless I'm not with DH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-homesick-quickly#post-2076619 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 11:54:15 +0000 babycanuck 2076619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I have been doing a lot but I'm also totally exhausted, work has been so mentally and physically draining :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-homesick-quickly#post-2076257 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 09:43:29 +0000 blackbird 2076257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a homebody but I like traveling for vacation! But that is *not* the same. I don't enjoy work travel *at all* and I just like to sit on my butt in the evening, eat food in my own house, and be comfortable with my husband, E, and the cats. When I travel for work, i try to take advantage of the local sites and restaurants. Food is probably the only main perk, honestly! Sure i work out and sleep in, but it's not the same as my own bed </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-homesick-quickly#post-2076129 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 08:29:26 +0000 looch 2076129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do get that type of homesickess, one thing I try to do when I had been away from home for work is to schedule a lot of things to do...are you alone, is there someone that you can hang out with? I'd be going to dinners, sightseeing on my time off, going to the gym, getting massages, etc as time permits. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-homesick-quickly#post-2076116 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 08:08:57 +0000 Mamaof2 2076116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The longest I have ever been away was a week so I never got homesick but for ~20 days - yeah I think I would just want to go home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-homesick-quickly#post-2076025 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 02:38:21 +0000 lamariniere 2076025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never get homesick, ever. I haven't been to my home country in 2.5 years and don't miss it at all! </p> <p>I don't really have much advice other than to say try to enjoy where you are in the moment. Maybe making a countdown calendar of events until you leave could help as you check each completed event off the list and get a day closer to home? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-homesick-quickly#post-2075973 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 23:53:27 +0000 Torchwood 2075973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't get homesick if it's a vacation with DH, but if I'm not with him I get "homesick" for him very quickly, no matter how fun the trip is. I think I would hate traveling for business. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-homesick-quickly#post-2075967 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 23:28:13 +0000 Mrs.Someone 2075967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: yea, I always miss my bed too.

Where are you visiting? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-homesick-quickly#post-2075958 Wed, 18 Feb 2015 23:15:45 +0000 babycanuck 2075958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been away from home for work since the 9th and don't go back until the 27th.
