I might have mentioned at some point that I have a travel addiction.  That’s not an exaggeration.  I am truly a travel junkie.  You want to know how I know?  Because the first thing I do upon returning from a trip is…[you guessed it]…start planning the next one!  Eric is just as guilty.  On a recent drive home from Alabama, Eric said

Keep in mind, we’ve already got a 2-week trip planned to Germany & Austria this fall, PLUS a weekend getaway to Chicago in October.  But apparently we need our fix sooner than that.  So, I start looking at hiking options in Banff National Park.
