Fun Thread: You know you're a travelholic when...
...you know the airport codes for all your favorite destinations.
...if your family/friends lose you in a bookstore, they know what section to find you in.
...you keep tabs on airfares even when you're not intending a trip anytime soon.
...for that matter, you plan the whole trip even if you're not intending to take it anytime soon.
...you have an irrational love of maps.
...you save silly things just because they come from a place you visited and loved.
Add your own!!

You have developed deep personal friendships with folks you've met at online travel forums.
Your spouse knows who your travel chat buddies are. He's even met them at several gtgs.
You have computer files for several destinations, as well as a file drawer full of travel stuff.
The vast majority of your computer bookmarks are for travel sites.
You have a strange fixation on finding the perfect piece of luggage for each type of trip.
You know some destinations as well as your hometown. Or very nearly.
At home, you regularly eat as though you lived in another country.
You don't buy clothing that doesn't travel well. For that matter, you "save" pieces of clothing for travel, not wishing to have them worn out at trip time.

When you are annoyed by people who think the US dollar is gladly accepted in every country in the world.
When it's New Year's Eve and you judge the prior year by the quality of the trips you took.
When you wake up in the morning and say, "It's only 62 days until I leave for _______."
I have all symptoms on this entire thread, and many, many more!!

My name is LoveItaly and I am a travelholic.
Scary, I answered yes, yes and yes to everything.
You chose books to read based on the fact that take place in locations you have been to or want to go to. You have read so many novels regarding Ireland you feel like you have actually been there.
You are not a shopaholic because you are a travelholic.

Hi, I'm Laurie and I'm a travelholic.
When people ask you if you're a travel agent.
When your favorite thing about meeting new people is asking them where they've been and what they liked most.
When you have an area of your closet designated to travel paraphernalia.
And all of the above.......
