Changing the way I think about travel

After our two long week trip, I found myself thinking about the way I travel.  Those two weeks were exhausting.  Would I change a second of it? No, absolutely not.  Would I do things differently?  Maybe.

One lesson, I would take is that 5 cities in 2 weeks is too much.  Another one would be that trying to squeeze everything in was the root cause of the exhaustion.  Did it take away from the quality of the trip?  I don't know.

Anyway, I'm beginning to think that maybe instead of doing a huge trip every few years, we should take a one week vacation to one location.  More vacations, easier to save for one small trip vs one large trip.  When I say one week, I would mean 5 vacation days, so potentially 9 days if you flank those days with weekends.

Does 9 days in Australia sound better than 14 days covering Australia and New Zealand?

I don't know.  I'm obsessed with traveling now, so maybe I'm just trying to justify more frequent traveling.

Either way, I want more stamps in my passport!
