Sand in My Shoes

My biological clock is dying about stuff like that. I usually travel in April every year for a vacation and have not done so this year. I tend to deal with it by remembering previous vacations, looking at pictures, until I eventually can’t take it anymore and pack my bags and actually go somewhere.

I will never understand people who do not enjoy traveling.

I gotta agree with Maya on this one – I’m craving going back to Europe but one can settle on re-discovering Lebanon and visiting our Arab neighbors

I get that too! but we’re lucky that Lebanon’s such a small country and we get to change scenery without actually having to go very far.

I keep a database of all the places I like in Lebanon but never actually get around to properly visit. That way I don’t forget about it. So whenever I get the travel bug I go through my notebook and pick one thing: that cute bed and breakfast in Tyr or an interesting Ecovillage in Chouf… It’s usually quite cheap, I always find someone to tag along and a perfect week end is 100% guaranteed.

Of course I also daydream about leaving everything and jump on a plane to Tokyo but the closest I got so far is eating sashimi… next summer maybe?

*sigh*
and i thought freelance is commitement free and that i will be backpacking thru the summer !

once i find a way to deal with my trouble bug, i’ll let you know – going around in lebanon in new area might help a bit

there is a song for dido called sand in my shoes – i get stuck on each when back from vacation

Agree with Mireille.. One way is to explore new areas around Lebanon. One cool place is the little beaches in Batroun.. Kind of hidden. Ask for “Chez Maggie” and enjoy the view

Hope you cure your travel bug for *real* soon!
