If I had to chose one thing to do for the rest of my days, it would without a doubt be traveling. I think it is the best possible use of one’s time and money. Preparing for traveling, on the other hand, is no fun at all! Anticipating all that you’ll need, purchasing all that you don’t have, cleaning up your piles of clothes and papers so that you can actually pack what you do have, planning how to get from point A to B… it’s just so much work and too much detail! I generally prefer a more hands-off approach where I just show up and fly by the seat of my pants. “Spur of the moment” is one of my favorite phrases, and I think the unplanned and unexpected are just so delightful!
But I guess because I’m traveling alone for the first time, without companions to lull me into a false sense of security (or do the planning for me ;)), I’m making extra efforts to be sure I know what I’m doing and where I’m going. I don’t want to experience the dark side of the unplanned and unexpected! So here I am trying to wind myself down from ‘kill and conquer mode'.’ For a bit I’m not going to think about annihilating my travel to-do list and just chill. Maybe my cat will get off my belly and allow me to read my book (it took me 15 minutes to write this cuz she has mastered the art of Being in the Way).
