The novelty of home wears off too quickly. Just last week Seb said, “Remember when we first got here and this house seemed enormous?” (After three months in a 200-squre-foot cabin.) He looked into the living room and remarked that it now seemed smallish (although it’s bigger than the entire living space we had in California).

This weekend we were also talking about how much we prefer car travel to plane travel – setting our own itinerary and deciding, on the spur, where we want to hang out and for how long; being able to grab local grub and/or pull off at a scenic picnic spot. Naturally Cosmo prefers it, too.

If I were to Drive a car from America to anywhere in the world it would have to be to England and parts of northern France and Paris, diving a Ford F350 Crew Cab, Dually. I’d like to see their faces when I take up 15 European size parking spaces in one fell swoop with a “very practical American car”.

Then after I destroy the front of their homes trying to drive it down their alleyways for streets, I order 10 of their coffees to fill my “Venti” size (1/4 of a gallon) Starbucks cup. “Yeehaw”, “God Bless the US”, and “Everything’s bigger in Texas!” (Do you think their compensating for something? A little New Mexico humor.:-))

At this point in life, I love my own home too much to be gone for a year. And driving gets really old. So no way, I would not drive around the world. I don’t even like driving to the gym, which is 5 minutes away!

I can definitely resonate with the “travel itch”, but for whatever reason, I’ve never had a desire to take a LONG trip. A month would be the longest I’d really want to do. I get too homesick. I’m a big fan of having my “home base”, and exploring frequently.
