*SIGH*

I was bitten by the travelling bug in the summer of 2008.

And I mean the real travelling bug, the one where you see the sights, experience the history and the culture, go beyond the beaten path, away from the beaches and bustling tourists etc etc.

Money (or rather lack of) kills the travelling bug. Dead.

It started off as wishing. I always wanted to go to so many places, but never really thought I would ever manage to get there.

Money, lack of maturity and life experience, lack of a suitable travelling partner, and fear of going solo stopped me from really looking into what I could experience, of where legitimately I could go.

As far as I was concerned, I would finish school, go to college, finish college, go to uni, finish uni, live happily ever after. I was happy with whatever holidays I got, honestly appreciating every one, and having never been further than a three hour flight away from England, I wasn't really aware of what I was missing. I can count the countries I have been to on one hand.

Hell, I can probably count the number of planes I have been on on two.

I am glad though, that I have got to know my own country before exploring someone else's.

Then there was Egypt.

This remains the most prominent and highest priority of my 'need to go to NOW or I will die' location list. But now, it has expanded to Italy, Jordon, Australia, New Zealand and South America to name but a few.

So today has been spent looking at the amazing tours on some very inspiring sites, and feeling pretty darn crappy that I have no money.

Some day. Some day.

People on the internets are funny

Less Than Three

Today, I am feeling a LOT of love for my friends.

No specific reason why, maybe cos I havent seen them for a few days, or cos I'm stuck at home with my stupid effing father, but right now, I'm missing them all so much to the point of physical pain.

(By the way, I'm crazy hormonal at the moment. I mean, I even CRIED at 'Lark Rise' last night. Not even when the kid died, but when the Candlefordians came to help with the harvest. I know right, bloody pathetic.)

But yeah, R E A L L Y looking forward to seeing Rachey and the Inkster (oooo Inkster ... thats new ... I like it) on the morrow, and then everyone else on Wednesday. It feels like months since I have seen anyone, and even though I have been texting them all more than normal lately, what with organising the meal on Wednesday and whatnot, I miss them all so much right now.

Anyway, just a quick one to get it off my chest.

And now, I'm going to go buy cheese. Cos thats what I do when I'm feeling down. Oooo, and enchiladas.
