Cures For the Travel Bug

Monday, November 27th, 2006

Last few weeks I’ve really been itching to take a trip somewhere… and I don’t mean taking my car out of town, as I’ve been doing as a substitute for the real thing.

Here are some things that might help you deal with the bug, should it have found you as well:

  • Take your car out of town and try to get lost (bet you didn’t see that one coming)
  • Watch travel shows. Lots of travel shows.
    Result: “With so many place to go, how can I pick just one?”
    You’ll need time to sort that one out, and by then you are hopefully ready to book that flight.
  • Work lots. The more money, the more places you can go. In the meanwhile, you’re too busy to think about travel.
  • Get your passport in gear. As exciting it sounds, you’ll be a step closer to your destination. You’ll feel better for a day or two.
  • Write a step-by-step blog entry with tips on how to deal with the bug. For a limited amount of time, it’ll make you feel like you’re in control of the whole situation. Speaking from experience, the sense of “progress” does wear off rather quickly. Bummer.
  • Read my blog. There’s enough here for a good chance of lapsing into a ‘lil coma, helping the time pass some more.

But really, I couldn’t care less if you read my blog or not. My stats counter is broken anyway; It keeps showing (1 Visitor) and (2 Visitors) per day on regular basis. So yeah, I won’t know if you read my blog or not, because as I already said, “my stats counter is busted”.
