You know you’ve been travelling too much when you wake up in your hotel and have to look at the hotel phone to see what city you are in. Then it takes you a few minutes to figure out what you are doning there.

Hi alll,\nAs an American I chuckled in particular at the red light observation…I tend not to do too much driving when I’m abroad for this very reason. Come to think of it, I don’t do much driving in LA either, once again for the same reason (!).\n=======================\navelino lobo\nTravelling

I think having a bag that is always prepared and ready to go even though you don’t know when you will be traveling next is a good sign.

>You have duplicate toiletries so you don’t have >to unpack the ones for travel

Oh yes! My life got so much easier when I had a seperate (always packed) travel bag with those things in.

A few more for the list:
- You have your taxi driver on speed dial
- There are no empty pages in your passport and Passport control has trouble finding a clean spot to stamp your passport
- Your animals don’t recognize you
- You go to a parent / teacher conference and the teacher is shocked that you actually exist
- You know the subway systems in other cities better than you do in your own
- You know how to order your favorite beverage in multiple languages
- You are on first name basis with bartenders at transit lounges in airports
- You keep your carry-on backpack fully packed (except for laptop) at all times
- You have duplicate toiletries so you don’t have to unpack the ones for travel
- You have so many hotel shampoos, soaps, etc that your kids love you will never have to buy them shampoo between now and when they leave home
- You can’t fit any more magnets onto your fridge

Happy Travels!

Cheers,
David

As an American I chuckled in particular at the red light observation…I tend not to do too much driving when I’m abroad for this very reason. Come to think of it, I don’t do much driving in LA either, once again for the same reason (!).

Not much to add, but let me try a few

- You can actually SLEEP on an airplane (it took me YEARS to be able to do this)

- You can actually WORK in an airport (ditto)

- You rate airports by the terminal bars (current winner: JFK, but Heathrow comes pretty close…I need to visit more international cities)

- TaxiMagic is on your iPhone’s homepage (I have been stuck in some godforsaken US city WITHOUT a cab in sight way too many times…can anyone else relate to this or am I just cab-cursed?)

Funny stuff!

Love the carpark mark on GPS … add Nokia E71 to that ;-)
Some more:
- You know where the powerpoints are in the airport gate lounges
- You carry multiple wireless hotspots access cards
- You have so many frequent flyer / hotel rewards etc cards you need specific hand luggage just for them ;-) … or you’ve given up on them.

Hmm not sure that how many would relate but here are some things which always tell me that I am travelling too much,

1) When you start remembering faces of both ground and air staff. Worse, they start doing the same.

2) Your face becomes a familiar one with local cab drivers and they just ask you to sit without you telling them where to go.

3) Even though, you are not from certain place, doesn’t live/work there but you start helping other first timers about the places to eat/visit/hang around.

4) You come to your own city/country back and can’t remember the new shopping mall which has just come up.

Can’t think of anything else at the moment, got to pack luggage for a travel which is starting tomorrow :-).
