Comments on: Thursday’s Thievery - I Am SO Not the Traveler http://rocketscientist.today.com/2008/12/25/thursdays-thievery-i-am-so-not-the-traveler/ Melding fiction and science in life and on paper Tue, 29 Dec 2009 16:23:10 +0000 http://www.today.com/version-2.3.1 By: shakespeare http://rocketscientist.today.com/2008/12/25/thursdays-thievery-i-am-so-not-the-traveler/#comment-994 shakespeare Fri, 26 Dec 2008 02:05:17 +0000 http://rocketscientist.today.com/2008/12/25/thursdays-thievery-i-am-so-not-the-traveler/#comment-994 We are nearly the same on the collecting stuff, although I have tried to be relatively methodical with the baby books and am also about to embark on some scrapbooking to get all the photos in order. I believe much of this is my need to organize things (thus my list book), and in part it comes from my husband's tendency to do the same (although he is DEFINITELY a packrat). But with travel, I could not be much more different. I would LOVE to go all over the place. I loved Spain, can't wait to see most of the rest of Europe, would love to visit Russia, Australia (okay, more New Zealand than Australia), South America (especially Peru and Argentina), Japan, much more of Canada, and the list goes on. Even more, I want to go wherever it is for long tracts of time. The only thing I hate is short trips, for I never feel like I get to see enough, or immerse myself in everything enough. That said, I understand about the going home. I don't even like teaching late at night if that means missing their bedtime. I want to travel soon...but I want to take my kids with me! (Not sure my hubby would be willing... but that's his loss) We are nearly the same on the collecting stuff, although I have tried to be relatively methodical with the baby books and am also about to embark on some scrapbooking to get all the photos in order.
