the itch

I get traveler's itch pretty easy. I know, it sounds like some infestuous disease that you pick up by walking barefoot in Mexico... but it's not. It's the deep desire to get on a plane and explore a new city or country... on a regular basis.

I have a list of cities I want to visit at some point. Among them are the the more common of Paris, Madrid and Venice but I also want to truly explore Buenos Aires, Lima, Vancouver, Seattle, San Francisco, Dubai, Mexico City, Habana, Mumbai, Sydney... the list truly does go on for a while. I also want to revisit Montevideo with a good camera and take pictures that show the world the amazingness of this "undiscovered" city. It's an incredible place and I really want to go back one day.

Just to make myself whine a little more, last night I went through and found amazing pictures of all these cities and made them my pc screensaver...

How amazing would it be to have a backpack, a camera and an ipod (of course you
need to have tuneage on a trip like this) and just travel the world??

Me too. Seriously...one day...maybe in 2 years when I get my degree...we will spend a summer with nothing but a backpack and a sense of youthful adventure (and an iPod, which I will have soon!). You and me, and Nessa...we can't miss out on this kind of summer! I also have a spirit that gets restless when life gets predictable and routine. But then you knew that...btw Vancouver awaits hunny.
