So...I am a huge Gleek...I know, who isn't right? A few episodes ago, they sang about songs that were their guilty pleasures. Some sang Spice Girls while others crooned to Mr. Manilow. While I probably will not get in to how I like to listen to Les Mis while mowing my lawn, I did think it appropriate to list a few of my travel guilty pleasures. So...here is another list of things you might think a little odd, but are totally worth it:
- Buying new socks. I love to purchase new socks for a trip to Europe. Think of how comfortable a new pair of socks can feel and then combine that with miles and miles of European Cobblestone. New socks are totally worth it.
- Wiki-surfing. Another pre-trip ritual is signing onto Wikipedia and clicking on link after link to see where I end up. I will go to Ireland (on Wikipedia) and as I read, I will click on a link that I find interesting. On that link, I will find something else interesting. It is the easiest way to kill a half-hour or more for the anxious traveler. You never know what you'll find...I'm not sure if I've ever hit a dead end while surfing Wikipedia.
- Practicing accents. I am a pretty good actor. I always wanted to be a comedian. It seems only natural that I'd become a master of accents. While I never practice my accents on the natives, I am pretty sure that I have a mean Welsh accent...which will help us out at the Haunted Hand Hotel.
Well, that's aboot it, Cheers!
