I look at “getting there” as part of the challenge. And, for me, the challenge of travel is always fun. Rarely glamorous, but fun nonetheless.

Hi Mike, thanks for the comment! Mike is going to take a two-year round the world journey, sometime in the future. Check out his blog for more info.
From his FAQ:
How the heck can you afford this?
Pimping.
No, actually one of the biggest travel myths – RTW travel in particular – is that it’s expensive. It’s not as expensive as you might think. It can be if you’re a high-maintenance, no-sacrifices, caviar-chomping, 25-year-old-scotch drinking jetsetter. I’m not. I can live in hostels, eat a hot meal at a road-side food stand, and spend the night in a $2-a-beer watering hole over the $25-cover charge chi-chi club next door. All it takes is a little planning, a sense of adventure, and a bit of sacrifice. It’s all part of the journey.Heh, if I had the funds, I’d travel as the jetsetter for sure!

Jetsetter for me too;)Boo hiss about this emergency trip. I shan’t complain about the 2.5 hour drive back from Middle of Nowhere, NC. Hurry home, Dave!

I have to say I HATE traveling. The glamourous part to me is before or after when you can say, “Oh, we’re going to -insert fabulous enviable destination here-..”, or “We just returned from -insert fabulous enviable destination here-..” But I HATE HATE flying especially! The tackiest thing ever is having to remove your shoes in the security line. I mean, isn’t there SOME way to figure out if I’ve got explosives in my shoes that doesn’t involve me having to walk sock or bare-footed where a gazillion people have also gone sock or bare footed? I hate the chaos of the self-check in too. No clear line, just a gaggle of people with their belongings. I am a kind of nervous flyer, and I pretty much just pray to get to and back safely. I think this trip to CA was the last one of its kind we’ll have for a loooong time. And I really hate being away from home for more than a few days – and I had NO idea how much I was going to miss my dog! I keep saying I am never leaving her again! Will is quick to point out that it takes me about a year to forget how much I hate traveling, then I start wanting to plan our next big trip. (Sorry for the length – obviously got carried away!)
