The Traveling Articles

On that first day back home The Traveler is content, happy to reminisce and tell tales of past adventures and cultures crossed! On that second day the bag is unpacked, mail is sorted and life is caught up with swiftly and efficiently as only a true wanderer would now how!

On that third day itchy-feet send endless unsolicited messages to The Travelers brain. Images of places new, of hotels and villages to be visited and lands and seas to be mapped appear with increasing frequency and urgency, but all are successfully dampened down, not wanting to disappoint the loved ones who so long awaited the return.

On that fourth day a walk outside leads somewhat suspiciously past a flight shop, a visit to the library ends up at the travel section and a meander through the shopping mall ends up at the luggage store!

On that fifth day the suitcase is packed, the ticket purchased and the itchy feet are once again ready to do what they were designed for, to travel to the unknown with the Traveler on their backs!

"My feet are the vessels; they take me to my heart"
