It has been sad this last year and a half, no traveling. I even miss the long flights. I haven't been able to gather money enough to do anything except pay for mistakes. It only increases my sadness when I see things happening of recent, such as the earthquakes in Japan. It kind of made me feel cut off, like here was the last place I traveled to and tragedy had struck it, there would be no return trip any time soon. I know I don't write well, so this is probably boring and filled with horrible English grammar and what not, but I felt that I was also trapped by not having anything to say on a new place I'd been. New things are happening around me, new faces are being met, but I have not been able to plan out a trip, explore that destination, and see the many sites it holds. Though the time has been filled with many To-Dos and the like, it doesn't hold the same interest as seeing foreign castles and riding your first bullet train. I would even settle with just being allowed to take a ride on foreign public transit to get my fix. I guess if I want to travel again I just need to make it happen.
The idea I had for the next trip was going to be a three week stint in the northern part of the United Kingdom. Scotland and Ireland seem to be calling (with a possible quick stop in London). Who knows if it will happen, things are always changing, but one can hope. *closes eyes real tight and wishes for a trip next year*
Lets just figure I start the planning now and get a head start!
