One of the things we enjoyed about returning from SA was seeing our teenagers before noon for the first week back. <br /><br />You'll have to tell us more about your son's trip, or better yet get him to guest blog about it sometime.Wenda Dottridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086728367896516923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-9877677996950652662010-08-20T00:03:14.785-04:002010-08-20T00:03:14.785-04:00Great post, Wenda.

I've always enjoyed travel although I've never travelled across the ocean. <br /><br />My son just returned from a mission trip to Australia, though and after 30 hrs of travel from their billet, to Sydney, to LA, to Denver, to Regina, they were bushed! Nick stayed awake for the hour-long drive home from the airport because he said he'd slept on the way, but it was Anita, a member of Church on the Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08928528872289081063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-57250430795552961252010-08-19T15:33:39.849-04:002010-08-19T15:33:39.849-04:00Hi Susanne,

But when I do travel, I remember how weary I get, how my body goes out of whack, and how much I yearn for my own bed!<br /><br />Deb's words about the grass being greener struck a chord.

Although, I changed my attitude this time round after watching a youtube clip of a comedian on Connan O'Brien ranting about how spoiled we are.

My main gripe...Glad you had an awesome time, Wenda. My main gripes with travel are time changes and cramped airplane seats. My legs are too long for coach.<br /><br />At this point I usually only want to travel if there's something really enticing on the other side. Last overseas trip was to Paris. Couldn't pass up that opportunity.Dina Sleimanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214446103057806111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-90856590265415574962010-08-19T09:22:01.780-04:002010-08-19T09:22:01.780-04:00Isn't it funny how people seem to crave what t...Isn't it funny how people seem to crave what they're not used to?
