Okay, So I Don't Travel

Okay, so we settled the fact that I am not a world traveler and that my dreams of going to Australia and visit my friends Vicki and Anne are something to dream about. But, without dreams the soul starves.

I think one of the things that make it easy for me to dream is that hundreds of thousands of people travel to visit where I live each year. Things that I would consider mundane, are a tourist destination. In fact, I rarely think about whether the people at our beach come from Nevada or down the road.

The same is for people who live in Australia. I am sure they take a harbour bridge walk, or visit bondi beach without ever thinking about the tourists. I know I would never wonder if they were a local family caming or staying in Cheap Hotels in Sydney. And, I am sure that many have never visited the rocks sydney festival, or the Sydney International Tennis Tournament January.

All of this leaves me wondering what I am missing in my own back yard. It may be a while before I check my bags at a Sydney Hotel, but 'you never know.'
