Hankerin' for a trip

---

I don't have 'annual leave' until November when I have four weeks. It will come soon enough, I know. My SO and I will be traveling to SE Asia (I'm hoping to persuade her to retire there on a part time basis when that time comes). - The reason I am making this entry is that I am generally always thinking about traveling, ie., where to go, what sights I would like to see, how to speak greetings and other in the 'native' tongue. I look up at the passing jets, and imagine a warmer clime. I work to live - and to travel - I'm grateful for how nice many people with simple existences can be, when confronted with visitors. It isn't the big city experiences that change me, but the small village fisherman who invites me to have a fresh coconut crab soup with his family that I feel a connection with--. I am amazed at how good it feels when all that I need is in the backpack I am carrying. It seems easy to let all that stuff go. But then I am in that trance called 'holiday.'In the past I've been tempted to stay abroad, and let my house go---momentary lapses of sanity.

I feel overloaded
Times like this help me to feel grateful I have a job, and the time and money to travel!
