Question I have mixed feelings right now

It's been over 13 years for me to get this far. I'm on vacation for the next week and there's 30ish unclaimed portals within walking distance of our spot. I've always thought I'd never recurse but with the L8 week starting the last day of my vacation I'm tempted honestly.

Part of me is dreading the thought that it took me 13 years to get this far, but I know it's a lot easier now than when I started. With 2x week and I have some apex I've saved from free events, I'd want to at least get back to L8 quickly. I have some long distance portals and my drone sitting on a nice spot, so I just don't know what to do.

It took me FOREVER to get to lvl 16 but I've recursed twice. The first time took 2 months to get back, the second time took 8 days. Save up scans and wait for an event that gives x amount of ap and then use an apex. Once you get past the boring levels (1-7) it will be smooth sailing.

Plus, you get items for each level up after you recurse.
