I’ve had a nearly incurable wanderlust since I’ve been a kid.
I’ve literally grabbed a couple of day’s worth of clothing, a few hundred dollars, and driven off with no more of a plan than to see the sunrise over the mountains or run off to the beach (about 10 hours away) for seafood and to spend some time around the ocean.
I could even comment about having jambalaya for breakfast in New Orleans. (now that was a nice trip.)
It’s always just been a part of who I am. I have this love of new places and faces. It’s lead to meeting a lot of interesting people and being in some great (and some not-so-great) situations.
Thankfully, I’ve always managed to get through the rough spots with a little help from random people.
I wouldn’t give up those experiences for the world. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to do anything like that for a couple of years. It’s something I really miss.
One of the reasons I really look forward to having a new full time job again is being able to travel on my off time because I never get to anymore. I miss the ocean, the mountains, sunrise and sunset in interesting places, and getting to meet new and different people.
I admit it. In some ways I am a romantic. It’s just part of the strange package that is me.

*chuckles* And I think you're starting to rub off. Granted driving off on my own isn't quite on my agenda.... partly because, well.... people are a teensy bit more likely to try something on me than you if I managed to wander through the wrong place. But that's what I get for being scrawny and unintimidating.
