“The love of
order can make life all banks and no stream” (unknown)
Being a
certified world class Over-Thinker, planning a three month trip can throw me
into a frenzy of list making, internet searches, and hours of pouring over
maps. I order books, make files, and do endless organizing both mentally and
physically. I am moved to ecstasy by compartmentalized containers and zip up
bags. I have a staging area in the garage to start stacking our plastic storage
bins and I love making check marks on the lists.
Thankfully I
know from previous experience, that once we hook up the trailer and pull out
onto the road I will be fine. The passion of preparation settles into the flow
of travel. Having done all I can to cover the bases I am mostly willing to let
them uncover as they will. And that is when the “happenings” occur.
