Hahahaha, it’s a little scary, eh? I think about that a lot, the future…if I suddenly change course and just want toget married and have babies and live in a little house with a white picket fence. Who says we can’t have our cake and eat it too? Besides Jenny Craig.

You’re right, and I hope it’s something that never changes, seriously. And you just bought a new house, so at least you have something to occupy your time with, woot!

Arg, I’ve already handed over all my recyclables to the Girl Guides movement…sending some girls to camp…figure it’s good karma, right? I’ll figure this stuff out eventually! Thanks!

there! a host of people that empathize and know what it means to feel pain over being stuck at home, NEEDING to go somewhere, but cannot for various pains. yes, it is pain, and it is real. i too, need to slam my laptop shut at times, in avoidance of OPT (Other People’s Travels). Ha. I am getting married in three months, and am wondering just how much this is going to curb my quasi-vagrant lifestyle. My intended is not as travel enthused as me, and neither of us are rich. And, well, things just change when you get married. Or so I hear. Now, off I go to slam my laptop shut once more. Siiight. This must be love.

I can’t add any new advice to the slew of wonderful comments, but from my experience the wanderlust pain never goes away. I’m wanderlusting like crazy right now and we just spent our travel budget for the year (or next…) in Argentina last month. I like to think it’s healthy to have that hunger. It means you’re always learning, hoping, and feeling in contact with the world.
