You know what is "awesome"? When you have 4 different currencies on your shelf, not counting the USD, and your are trying to find the right one for your next trip, which starts in less than 5 hours.
I should really be in bed, but NO WORRIES! I will post the next installment once I reach my destination tomorrow!
Can you guess where I am going?
(hint: it takes about twelve of their units to make 1 USD)

A little about why I do it...
Recently, a friend, that I really respect as someone who is reaching for her dreams and helping others do the same, said to me: "I don't know how you do it." She was referring to my weekly travel for work. I value conversations with her. Even though I do think often about what I do, and why I do it, just knowing who I am talking to makes my reasons sparkle a bit more for me.
That's a part of why I'm starting this blog. It is so fresh and new right now. A few people have come to take a peek at what this Field Guide is about, or have gotten it in a search engine result for something entirely different from what they were intending. I hope what ever reason brought you here, that you have fun visiting, and perhaps pick up a tidbit of something to spark your thoughts on travel.
I love to travel, whether it is for work or adventure. It isn't always fun, rarely glamorous, but it is exciting, & mind expanding. It is the entire experience of the process of travel I love. I love the anticipation, sometimes the niggle of anxiety about leaving home, breaking free of my front door, arranging for transportation. I love the whole process of getting to the destination, getting to know some of the TSA agents, CheckIn & Gate Agents, delays (shhh don't tell the airlines). I love arriving at my destination, exploring the area if it is someplace new, or settling in if it is a regular work trip. I love making wherever I am feel like I belong, as if I am becoming part of that place. I love the return trip, and coming home to touch my stuff, drive my car, hug my loved ones, and sleep in my own fantastic bed. I don't travel to escape, but to explore and gain a refreshed appreciation for home.
Whew! Almost got through this post without including the "A" word. So, here you go:
Travel is Awesome! Awesome isn't always good, but it is always awe-inspiring. I learn something about myself each time I travel. I take myself outside my comfort zones, and that is when I feel like I grow as a person.
Signing off for now - I have a 6:30 am flight off to work in the morning, and still have to pack.
Happy Trails!
