Travel anticipation
January 18th 2010 00:59
Is it just me, or is anticipation at least half the fun of travelling?
Yes, I believe that thinking about travelling is nearly as good as going. And clicking the 'submit' button on the Qantas website to purchase a ticket is akin to boarding the plane.
Am I thinking about the cost, the high likelihood of an airline losing my bags, jetlag, awful airline food, airport security, or the size pf the person sitting next to me in cattle class?
No, I'm living the dream. It's the dream of being somewhere else. Like Enid Blyton's Magic Faraway Tree, there's the promise of a different land at the end of the journey. Hot sunny beaches here, frozen lakes there. In less than a day, my world can be literally turned upside down.
That's the magic of travel. It's the sheer possibilities.
