I woke up with the revelation that I am truly, a Travel Addict. My addition is so bad that I would marry the next man who could recite the major airport codes to me out loud. My problem is getting worse the more I travel. Instead of feeling satisfied that I’m on a plane going somewhere, for example, I think about my next destination and the next one after that. I am sure I’m not the only Travel Addict so here are some signs that you, too, might be afflicted:
- You always check air fares before going to bed and upon waking.
- You check out cool hotels in cities all over the world just for pleasure.
- You buy every travel magazine at the grocery checkout stands.
- When
going to the bookstore to buy one book for your next destination, you
end up buying multiple books for multiple destinations. - Your passport is your most valuable asset.
- When you meet someone new and they haven’t been anywhere, you don’t want to talk to them AT ALL.
- Your idea of a perfect man or woman is how fat their passport is.
- You view your travel stamps as a work of art.
- KAYAK is your best friend. (If you think Kayak is a boat, dear Lord, you have no reason for reading this blog!)
- You ask every person where they are from and where they have been.
- You cry when you leave for a destination and you cry when you return from a destination.
- You laugh out loud when someone tells you they’re traveling…to Florida.
- When it comes to buying things, you
equate the item’s value to “Travel dollars.” For example, instead of the $2,000.00 Italian suit or designer handbag, you would rather buy an
international airfare. - You have multiple currencies in your wallet at all times.
- Your idea of porn is looking at multiple travel websites.
- You find maps and globes intoxicating.
- You have multiple time zones and cities set on your iPhone’s World Clock.
- You have multiple cities added on your iPhone’s Weather App.
- Your idea of contestants for THE BIGGEST LOSER are people who don’t own passports.
- You blog about travel.
- You read other blogs about travel.
- You would rather die than not travel.
Well, if you are a Travel Addict like myself, what are we to do about our afflictions but travel???
