Travel Dream
So, I have a lot of travel dreams and they always make me happy. I remember dreaming of sailing in a yacht on the Mediterranean toward Barcelona and seeing the sun setting on the Spanish coast...all brown and gold. Once, I was wandering through the brilliant greenness of Ireland with Carey. Since that one, I have been determined to go to Ireland one day (but only with Carey, that is a required condition). And last night I had a similar one. One that made me want to take action, that imagined a future where this might actually happen. In my dream, I was on the phone with Ms. Tubbs and we were discussing where we were going to meet in Sydney. We both had our tickets and were arriving within hours of each other. The tickets were really cheap, so we both had a million layovers in little crappy places, but we were psyched anyway. We talked about the month we were going to spend in Australia, diving at the Great Barrier Reef and driving a souped up old car through the outback photographing wildlife. In any case, waking up from this dream, I realized that I couldn't think of a better person to go to Australia with than Mollie. I have never really thought about wanting to go "down under", but now I can't wait for the day when we are both a little richer and a little freer and we can meet up there. It will rock!
