Start the travel (13 june 2014)

Having travel fever big time is never nice! It is like being completely totally out of control crazy! It's like the butterflies in your stomach has turned into angry bees in a beehive zumming around like crazy!

It gives the "I wanna trow up" and the "omg I need to use the toilet" feeling over and over again. 

Worst part of living on an island is....as long as am on the island I can still miss my flight! So when my friend told me he will pick me up in 5 minutes I was forever greatful, and hanging up I was struggling not to break down and cry like a baby. That is the release of tension!

I have never been that early in the harbour!  Ever! ....or at least never since I moved to the island. Standing there was a little bit calmer, but still beehive. 

Trying to sleep. ...no use.....but I got to eat a really nice dinner/lunch, that I am still full on (it's 21:40 swedish time, the 13th of june....yes it's a Friday. ...and am starting to believe it can be cursed!)

I had a feeling of back pain in the ferry,  so I took a couple of painkillers. ...are they really sugar pills?  No effect. And when I get of the ferry and on the bus I reached down to grab my suitcase and BANG! Lumbago! Or at least that's what I think it is. Great having two 23 kg check in luggage plus 12 kg carry on.....I just need to use my legs! Carry on! More people coming on the bus!

Getting of at city terminal.  Yes.  Lifting the bags down the bus-stair and going in to buy the ticket and catching the next bus. I can put my things under the bus (YYYYYEEEEEEEYYYYYY!!!) and just scan my ticket and off we go.

On the bus I realise. ....we are making a....1.....2.....3 stops at Arlanda! Darn! Where should I get off! Tips! Always check which terminal!  It's easy. Just go to the homepage. I used Google.  So I knew I was taking terminal 2. Last stop.

I was last on the bus....no wonder.  Am only one on the terminal!  Makes me think of the youtube clip about the man stuck on an airport in Las Vegas.....no....am not going to make a youtube movie!

Now am here. Waiting.  I can board my plane at 5.50 am. Waiting to check in my luggage first.

It's going to be a boring night! But anything is better than beehive! Anything!

No action

It has been no travelling for me, therefore no action on this blog. The only travel on my mind for the past three four years have been to travel to Lagos, Nigeria. It has filled my heart and it has filled my soul. It still does. It is soon a year ago that I have last been to Lagos. The want to go back burns inside of me!

But on the outside it doesn't show. My husband is now here, and if the want to travel to his home-town is this great for me, it has to be even greater in him. So I stay silent. The knowledge that I do not even know when will be the next time I will travel burns in me as well. The fact that it might be over another year before I see the town that I have fallen in love with makes me want to cry!

Every day that goes by I try to little by little get used to the fact that I will not be travelling this year. Yes, me and a friend are planning a travel at some point, it might still be this year, but that is not what I mean. I know where my heart wants to travel, and it is difficult for me to even imagine going somewhere else.

I used to have this want to go everywhere in the world. The only place that I felt that I really want to go back to has been Vancouver. But since my Vancouver-mum moved away, the want to go back has been very low.

Maybe that is why I love Lagos so much. Because of all the wonderful people I have met, because of my second family that lives there. Maybe it is just so simple.

But it feels anything but simple....

My want to travel still burns strong...
