Travels with Kelly

July 3rd, 2009 | by kelly | Filed under: Planning |

So, I’m throwing my hat in the ring to get all things annoying out in the open. Here are just a few things about me that may make me the not so ideal travel buddy.

  1. I’m not a morning person. It doesn’t mean I can’t wake up early, but my not quite awake personality is that of a pissed off angry bear who hasn’t eaten in three weeks. My Dr. Jekyll, if you will. The problem is I don’t remember what that personality does, and when I wake up I’m perfectly fine, happy, in a darn good mood even. And, conveniently I’ve forgotten all those not nice things I may have said when half asleep. So, warning Peter and Pam, wake me up at your own risk.
  2. I’ve been told I snore. I’m only sharing this because a reliable source has told me it’s a problem. I’m not convinced it’s actually true. And considering point 1, you’ll probably fall asleep before me and avoid it all together.
  3. I’m a damn good navigator. I can read a map and I’m proud of it. I also do not like sharing said map with lesser skilled map readers. It annoys me. I’ll try to be nice about it, but an eye roll may occur.
  4. I overthink things. Which leads to difficult decision making at times. Sometimes, I need an outside force to just say, OK forget what makes the most sense, we’re doing THIS. I’ll oblige and be grateful.
  5. I can’t drive stick. I wish I could, but I never learned. I don’t know if you like your transmission or not, but I’m pretty sure if you let me drive your car I’ll destroy it.
  6. I like the restaurant on the other side of the road. Blame my father, but a childhood of never stopping at restaurants that were “on the wrong side” has tainted me. God forbid you take a left turn or sit at a light. I’m an adult now and I like to indulge and see how the other half lives.

Alright guys it’s all out in the open (and shared with the world.) Don’t say I didn’t warn you!
