travel is
Travel is...
the joy of coming home.
I arrived home yesterday after 11 days away. I spent three days in New York City and eight bouncing around the mountains of western North Carolina. A friend and I stayed with other friends and toured studios, galleries and trekked up and down mountains. It was a chance to visit and enjoy some of the prettiest scenery in the country and we did a lot of both.
As the last final touch to a great trip, our friends took us to lunch on Friday at Asheville's Grove Park Inn, a wonderful old inn that will celebrate it's 100th anniversary in a few years. Grove Park Inn has been visited by such diverse celebs as Harry Houdini and Eleanor Roosevelt, Thomas Edison and Lady Bird Johnson and it is where F. Scott Fitzgerald spent to seasons.
With a couple of audio books (courtesy of Cracker Barrel's crack rental system,) we arrived home yesterday afternoon.
I unpacked and put away my luggage yesterday before joining my family for dinner.
Today I restocked the larder, did some laundry and went through the mail.
Tomorrow I return to the gym, and back to normal on all levels.
Knowing me, it'll be about a week until I'm ready to hit the road again. That's the real "normal" when you have the travel bug, it is always looking for someplace else to go.
But I must admit, it was good to be home. However briefly!
