When we signed up for life abroad, it marked the end of slow-paced summers. Now it's the only time we have to reconnect with stateside family and friends, so we have a lot of ground to cover. It is rare that we sleep in one place for more than 7 nights in a row.
For the first few years I tried, unsuccessfully, to simplify and slow things down; but I have come to accept it for what it is. We run it like a marathon, taking in every moment so that it will sustain us for the year ahead.
