Wanderlust

I haven't been on a trip since the beginning of February, and I'm suffering from severe withdrawal. I know there are some who won't understand or may be baffled by my condition. I'm afflicted with an addiction called 'Wanderlust' and every day that passes without a trip, my situation worsens.

       Go ahead, laugh. Some will shake their heads at my words, but they don't get it. I'm ready to go! Lol. I know there are those shaking their heads in agreement, because they too suffer from the same symptoms. 

       Imagine being on a diet... in a room full of all the best foods. That's my life right now. Last year I went on nine vacations, visited 23 states, and added memories to my treasure chest. This year, I've only been on one vacation so far, but my time is coming.

       I'm crossing days off of my calendar, learning new travel hacks, following airfares, tracking music festivals, baseball tickets, food fests, and trying to be patient. It's not easy. Especially when my daily e-mails have deals and discounts that I'm itching to try. 

       My Eddie Bauer backpack, my laptop, a Rand-McNally, an all-weather hat, IPod, and my flip-flops are ready to go. Three road trips on the horizon, three by plane, and maybe I'll be fulfilled for awhile.

       At least until my next flare-up of 'Wanderlust' occurs... It's contagious, and I wish it upon everyone. Let's go...
