OK, so even now I think I'm becoming obsessed with my travel addiction...does that even make sense?
I have been compulsively trolling the Fodors website message boards. Well, technically only the Europe message board recently, but hey, doesn't that make sense because in just a mere 5 months time I will be traversing the nooks and crannies of Central Europe? Anyway, any chance I get to log onto Fodors I do and some of the trip reports on that board have me in stitches! They are so funny, and some truly (as expressed by other posters there) have the potential to become terrific comedy movies! :)
But in my defense I have picked up some really great tips/advice from fellow travel junkies. Such as a huge list of recommendations for restaurants/activities/sites to not miss while in Krakow, or at lest definitely try to fit them in. And not just these recommendations, but also links to some fantastic websites for the cities or countries I'll be in to get a feel for the location and find out if there are any events that might be of interest to check out while there.
I can't say enough good things about the friendliness of the other "Fodorites" on that board for sharing information.
So, enough about Fodors...my other "issue" if you can call it that, is my ever constant thoughts of travel and the places I want to visit next. Maybe the trouble is that I have subscriptions to Budget Travel and National Geographic Traveler magazines, which just add fuel to my fire while exposing me to places I hadn't ever really thought about going to but after reading a great article about someplace immediately want to either (1) jump on a plane there or (2) put it on my Places to See List. Ohhhhh...such things to have "dilemma" over. And by the way, I think I'm doing pretty good with just 2 travel magazine subscriptions, it could be worse...much worse! :)
Some days I truly think I need to get my butt in gear and do work in a travel related field...but traveling for pleasure won't pay the bills that traveling usually seems to create...
So, for now I will just suffer from wanderlust and continue my monthly armchair travels with as many real journeys as I can fit in!
Happy Travels!
