Instead of honeymooning for two weeks in Hawaii or Tahiti, your honeymoon involves a year-long RTW.
You read the acronym RTW and immediately know that it stands for Round The World.

When you’re in between fixes (er, trips), sometimes the only activities that get you through the day are reading inspirational travel quotes or google images searching the word “Thailand”.
When you go to purchase a coffee at 7-11, finding the correct change takes forever because you have to first sort through the four different coin currencies spilling from your wallet..
You lie when it’s time to renew your passport and say that it was stolen…all so that you can hold onto your hard-earned passport stamp collection.
Whenever you’re home for a while, the urge to hit the road again is so strong you avoid the travel section of the bookstore. It just hurts too much.

Your house is on fire and you’re only able save one thing, and you chose your travel scrap book.
You haven’t bought new clothes or had a haircut in over a year, because you’d rather use that money towards funding an extra night in (insert name of next vacation destination).
You use skype more often than your cell phone because most of your friends are scattered around the globe.
You bought an Iphone…just for the GPS, travel apps and skype.
All you want for Christmas is an electronic translator.
