Those traveling blues.


Great column today on SFGate (website for the SF Chronicle) from the editor of their travel section. It's the over-traveled traveler version of "You Might Be a Redneck" (even though the Chron would never admit it, I'm sure). I got quite a few laughs from the column, including these highlights:
    When you find a 3-day-old copy of USA Today and read every word, including the NHL transactions, it may be time to go home. ...

    When you stop Americans on the streets of Venice and ask them if they know who was eliminated this week on "American Idol," it may be time to go home. ...

    When you begin to develop a disturbing obsession with CNN International's Richard Quest, it may be time to go home. ...

    When you flip through the SkyMall catalog page by page, and there's not a single remote-controlled blimp or turbo nose-hair trimmer you haven't seen before, it may be time to go home. ...

    When you are drawn toward the Golden Arches as if by tractor beam, it may be time to go home.
