on the road

i miss being on the road (or in the sky if you want to get technical). but i really miss traveling.
although last month was stressful packing, flying (with a baby), unpacking, packing, flying again (with the same baby, only a week older). unpacking, and repeat. minus the baby this time. and i always end up missing people. but i'm feeling extremely restless. i really want to go on another trip. i was just reading an old article in the new york times about various hiking trails in the south and i desperately wish my parents would allow me to go on just a weekend hiking trip. i would even settle going with my family. i just want to pack up and go for a while.
even though i have still been packing almost every weekend, but that is only to go across town to stay with my dad. not what i'm yearning for.
well, at least next summer i'm going to europe. only 11 months to go.
