Just got an email from the travel agent a few days ago with the details of my Brasil itinerary. I love the feeling – The Rush – I get when I see my trip laid out in detail. Flight numbers, seat assignments (with a quick visit to seatguru.com to make sure they are decent assignments) and layover cities. Adventure lies ahead and I can’t wait to get started. But there’s something to the delayed gratification too. Time to plan and dream (and in some cases worry) about what’s next to come. Brasil in July. This will be my seventh visit. I hope its good and memorable and fun in its own way. And until I head to LAX on July 8, I’ll enjoy the rush that comes with what’s to come.
