I have struggled to convey my experiences every time. It got to the point my wife and I even stop saying anything to friends about what we get up to on our travels, even to the point where we just said we had a nice time and the weather was great............. because it was easier than trying to tell a story of what actually happened. Its very hard to get past the first paragraph of your rehearsed story without people interjecting with " how cheap was the  ?" 
So for our last trip we made a video or two and sat each family member / friend in front of it ( when they asked how our Holiday was). We had several reactions, most memorable was the one who thought it was fake and wasn't us at all! In general most people were amazed where and how we travel. It did the trick for us, now most of our family and friends " understand" but not all "get it" and I don't expect them to either.
For what it's worth every trip, big or small, leaves me with the same feeling, the day it doesn't is the day I stop going.........possibly?
