wanderlust

It's only a month since my last holiday and already I've got itchy feet. Whenever I get home to my own bed, I think: "That trip will last me for ages!" I guess 'ages' must be a month then. About as long as it takes to finally unpack my bags.
To be fair, my last solo trip was nearly two years ago. I've started to look longingly into the travel agent window on my way up to school. A girl has to dream. I've also taken to actually reading all those travel email newsletters that clog up my inbox.
Egypt - wouldn't that be fascinating. And I never really saw Eastern Europe. As for South America - nada. A blank slate. See how easy it is to convince me?
Still, long haul flights are like childbirth - over time you do forget how bad they are, until you're actually doing it. But I remind myself they are REALLY bad and last time I promised never again. So, I start reading the flight upgrade email newsletters that I've also signed up for. There must be a way to get up the front of the plane.
Then I realise I'm having myself on and check out cheap flights to Melbourne. Maybe a quick weekend of shopping and some bad airport food will do me for now.
