There’s a very old saying that goes something like, “Wood
warms a person thrice: once when he chops it, once when he stacks it, and once
when he burns it.” Generally speaking, I don’t do any of these. The fireplace
in my house runs on natural gas. But I think I can relate. It’s exactly how I
feel about going on holiday. I’m warmed, at least in a spiritual sense, by a
trip while I’m taking it. I love to drink in new sights, sounds and smells. Waking
up in a different place, breathing different air, always fills me with a sense of excitement and adventure. Once I’m home I love browsing through pictures I’ve taken and
sharing stories I’ve gathered. But my favorite vacations are always the ones that
haven’t happened yet. It’s such a thrill to decide how we’ll get there, who
will come with us, what we’ll see. Holidays, while you’re still planning them,
are always perfect.
