i’m back east for a wedding in newport. after posting a status on facebook update upon arrival, my friend commented that it’s been a big traveling year for me. it took me a second to realize how true that is – london, spain, hawaii, new york, los angeles, mendocino, humboldt, rhode island and soon newport and asia.
i’ve always hated traveling – like the physical act of traveling and all the prep work that goes into it. going through airport security make me anxious as does lining up to get onto the plane. packing stresses me out. i always worry that i’ve left my i.d. or tickets at home. i’m a hot mess when i travel.
that is until i land and spend a few hours adjusting. then, there’s nothing like the thrill of immersing oneself in the culture of one’s new surroundings. i’m looking forward to future adventures, but for now… i am jetlag and though i need sleep, will have to hop in my bro’s car for a five-hour drive. looking forward to seeing what newport has to offer!
