One of my all time favorite movies is "It's a Wonderful Life." In the movie, George Bailey is a hopeless adventurer, who longs to see the world. While waiting on his brother's arrival at the train station, George hears a train whistle and tells his Uncle Billy "You know what the three most exciting sounds in the world are?" Billy responds with "uh huh. breakfast is served; lunch is served; dinner..." George jumps in with "No, no, no, no. Anchor chains, plane motors and train whistles." You see, George Bailey suffered with a great case of Wanderlust. He wanted to see the Pyramids, walk through the streets of ancient cities and see the wonders of the world.
For those of us who suffer with the same disease, the only cure is to go. Travel. Pack a bag, book a ticket and set out on your own adventure. It's not really too important where you go. Adventure can be found a mile from you home or around the world. I don't believe this is a disease you will ever overcome. I know I won't. At least, I hope not! There 's too much in this big world to see. So, the next time you hear a train whistle, a plane motor or an anchor chain grab a bag and answer the call. Happy trails!
