I must be aging. In the last couple of weeks I have said "Wish I could have stayed here longer" and "Wish I could have been there". So different than the "been there, done that, let's get home" attitude I have picked up with all the travel I do.
Two weeks ago I wish I could have stayed longer in the UK/Europe - Farnborough Air Show, British Open at St. Andrews, Tour de France, Military Tattoo in Edinburgh. I have been to each in the past but for a change would have enjoyed any or all again (I know you are saying how do you "go" to the Tour de France - I was in Paris on the weekend the Tour kicked off a few years ago)
This week I wish I could have been in the Bay Area for AlwaysOn and BlogHer.
Client commitments prevented me from doing so in both cases. (At least that's my excuse and I am sticking to that)
The good news is most of us around the world have way more entertainment/education/etc. choices than we know what to do with. Around the world there are so many local events, often low cost /free and with the magic of television and the web exponentially more choice.
Hate to bring the Middle East again, but what is that makes some of us just ignore the bounty around us and be obsessed instead with mayhem and meanness?
