The smell of airline food makes your mouth water.
You are excited to find a fresh full size bar of soap in the shower.
You “steal” soap, shampoo, instant coffee, tea and sugar packets from your room.

I am so excited to be in Japan. We never planned to come here since we didn’t think we’d have the means–I probably still don’t have the means but I’m here anyway.
I find myself fascinated by everything here. When we arrived at the airport I kept WD waiting while I amused myself with [...]

The winning photo was [...]
As WD already explained, getting her visa for Brazil at the border of Iguazu Falls was no trouble. Thankful to have that over and done as soon as we arrived, we headed for the famed Iguazu Falls.
Our old travel friend Rick recommended Iguazu over Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. This was nice to hear [...]
