It's something the glossy brochures don't tell you about (probably because it is rarely caught anywhere displayed within their pages, but I digress). The travel bug. When this sucker bites you, it's nasty, usually will stick with you for years, if not life.
Right now I'm going through a particularly bad attack. It seems as though for me, snow is a trigger. So I sit here and all I can think of is getting away. Not that I don't love Winnipeg of course, but I need sun and humidity, stat. So I find myself trolling the travel websites looking for a fix. I used the online library catalogue to order myself a host of Lonely Planet books to dream over.
Even once (if) I book myself an escape it's not a cure, all it does is intensify the dreaming until departure day. Then it's real, there are things to be planned, I have justification for my behaviour then.
Sigh. Okay, well, back to Expedia...
