I love to travel, but really don't get to do it often enough. While I had travelled around Canada and the U.S. as a kid with my parents (and one trip to Paris and London with them too), it wasn't until I lived in Japan for 2 years after university that the travelbug really bit me. Now it seems that I only get to travel every 5 years or so, but I hope to do more soon. Part of the problem is that I like big travel to more exotic places and that takes more money and time. Plus, my husband is afraid of flying, so I hadn't travelled at all (until a recent trip to LasVegas) with him. The blogs here have inspired me though. And my husband has said he'll get over his fear of flying...although not his fear of spiders.
