World Weary Traveler

This week's The Thursday Threesome meme:


::World Weary Traveler::



Onesome:   World  --  Okay, you've been here; you've been there. ...or maybe not.      Is there someplace you think it would be cool to spend a holiday?      Christmas in the Alps?      St. Patrick's Day in Erie?      Oh, sure, take the entire family if you'd like!


A.  Since I'm Irish, I've always wanted to visit Ireland.      It would be even more of an event to visit on St. Paddy's Day, I would think.      The more traditional holidays (Thanksgiving and Christmas, I prefer to be home-for-the-holidays).


Twosome:   Weary  --   Have you ever had to deal with jet lag?      How have you handled it? ...and which direction is worse for you, going East or going West?      Just curious...


A.  Yes.      Jet-lag is worse traveling from West to East.      I deal with it with herbs, herbal teas, extra sleep, and taking it easy for a few days after returning home to let my body adjust back to my normal time zone.


Threesome:   Traveler  --   When you've traveled, what conveyance has bothered you the most?      That camel in Morocco?      The train ride through the Rockies?      Your brother-in-law's Dodge?      What just set your nerves on edge?


A.  I hate late planes that cause you to have to make a mad-dash to catch your connecting flight, especially in large airports.      Even with trams and trains, getting from one concourse to another is never easy.      I also am extremely bothered by people who promise to pick you up at the airport and are either (a) late; or (b) don't bother to get a babysitter and you have to listen to their kids whining all the way back to your destination.
