Travel
Travel Do you enjoy traveling? If so: Is it all about the destination? Or the journey? Or are you just excited to be getting out of Dodge? If not: Is it a fear of travel? Or just "There's no place like home"? I'm sure there are plenty of other reasons for both. It's funny. I LOVE home. Insomuch as when I get home from work or errands... I get excited, "Yay! Home!" (Yes, I really say that. Out loud). I'm also always (um... usually) happy to see my cat. I do miss her and feel bad leaving her behind when I'm gone. I know from previous vacations that she gets separation anxiety, hardly eats, and refuses to play if I'm gone. And she mauls me when I get home. (My late cat, Tasha, would flat ignore me for 24 hours to let me know her opinion if I'd been gone). Um... this really isn't a post about cats. The thing is I DO love traveling. Years ago when I was driving home from work late at night the urge to just keep driving would hit me. Don't go home. Just... drive. Until I run out of gas then figure out what to do next. I never did though. Once I had a guest from New Jersey coming to visit and when I showed up at the airport the feeling of wanderlust hit me so hard... I almost went and bought the next ticket out of town going anywhere. But I had hostess duties so ... I decided to be a good friend and actually not leave him stranded at the airport lol. I'm searching airfare prices for a friend right now... and the urge to get away is nearly overwhelming. Travel. Explore. Flying... I LOVE flying. (I also enjoy finding the lowest airfare prices I can. Hence the reason I am looking lol) OK: barely able to walk and chaffed legs from wearing blue jeans from Spokane WA to Cairo Egypt wasn't much fun. But other than poor choice in travel clothing ... I love flying. (First ever flight excluded. My bf at the time STILL jokes, 20 years later, that his leg is numb from the thigh down from where I dug my nails in the first time the plane tipped to turn around. I didn't let go till we landed in Florida). For me... what I love about travel is everything. Getting away, meeting new people, and new experiences of all sorts. The adventure. And, yes, the coming home. I'm a bit envious that a friend of mine gets to fly on a plane and I don't. lol. Though with luck I will be flying at the end of August. Ireland, then London UK to visit a few friends. If I can manage it: Mexico to visit a high school pen pal too. I really need to brush up on my Spanish though. Spring is here... time to begin planning my spring & summer road trips. Hopefully I will get in many road trips and camping trips and getting out there in the world. Happy Easter, everyone! (and for those Easter resistant: Blessed Ostara or Happy Sunday or Happy "Yay! The sun is shining!" Day (that's what I'm celebrating lol) |

It's more about the destination to me. Sure ... it's nice to see the landscape and such but if transporters existed ... just materialize me to where I want to go. I am a homebody by nature but have to admit that there are times when "getting out of Dodge" for a spell has its appeal. Enjoy your travel planning. AB No Bozos

I am usually travelling lots during the year. I like to do camping in the summer time. Go on a golf trip some place else with the girls. Going to some place warm in the winter for a few weeks.. I am looking at a road trip through the States this year if our dollar gets back up to some place at least level. It is cheaper for us to fly to Mexico and take out all inclusive package then do travelling now through the States.. hugsssssssssss V Happy Easter! Become a blog watcher sweet_vm

I only owned one Dodge, but you're right- I was pretty much always happy to get out of it. I love home too, and home is quite modest, but it's mine and I'm fond of it. And I like traveling too...but I was a truck driver and for the last year I haven't had to drive anywhere and it felt SO FUCKING GOOD! I'm probably about ready to do some traveling again.

Speaking from my own experience, traveling is more about the destination than the journey, but that is most probably because the vast majority of my travels around the world occurred while I was in the Navy, so the journey was just part of the job, but the destinations were awesome. I absolutely loved seeing the historical sites and visiting other cultures. Dennis (Idahonuke) To read about myongoing adventures and journey into the lifestyle: [blog Idahonuke]

I know what you mean. I just did a "getoutoftown" trip to Seattle. Next trip is in late may, I'm traveling at least but over to the West side of the state. Maybe even hit around the Portland area or Seattle. Yes, meeting friends where I go. Newest Poem: What Lies Beneath Newest HNW Post: Latest Story: Sleep Fuck is cumming...
