Why are you traveling? Part 2
 

Still...he wonders why he left his cozy home in sunny Orange County, California - USA (Notice the deep cushy couches!)


My comfy condo bed...why oh why did I leave this?

 


For beds like this...and this is a nicer hostel setup
(use Ayers Rock Resort picture)

 

Can you help me? What do you think is the best reason?

< link to a separate page with picture and text or popup for each now...future add poll>



A

There is no reason Wayne - you are stupid and an idiot

B

You really wanted to join the Circus

C

You wanted to buy a pair of used school girl panties out of a vending machine

D

You want to feel what it is like to get sick to the stomach in India
(Picture with-held for your well being)

E

You are in search of the ultimate mobile liquor bar (pic from Thailand)

F

You want to be continually dazed and confused

G

You enjoy that feeling of not making much money and just spending
(Should of joined an Internet company!)

H

You wanted to be closer to the endangered fast food species - small size fries and coke
include picture (Include stats on US Obesity, etc...)

I

You had to satisfy a primal urge to capture your own food (Snake and insects)

J

Don't know a good thing when you have it (Links to poor areas)

 You wanted to check out old 5th Century AD frescos of naked women (Sigiriya)
Wanted to check out a swimming pool with a view

and then he reminds himself why -- (The serious stuff)
(As if the previous page of things to do and look at wasn't enough)


The Orange County he first knew is long gone after just 6 years. (Rapacious development and land "terracing" in
Crystal Cove seaside area- WAS the last undeveloped coastline in Orange County)...
and aggressive development in inland Canyon areas - Santiago Canyon Road

Replaced by more parking lots



 

and more of the same chain stores (Gap, Banana Republic,
Williams Sonoma, Trader Joes,
Starbucks - we surely don't have enough of these)

For the record in the immediate area there are:

# of Starbucks -
# of Gap
# of Banana Republic

 

and gated communities (Fear, fear, fear)
(Add link to FBI 50 safest cities list - if you can't feel safe here...)

All across the street from my once beloved ocean side Crystal Cove Park (Reverse angle of photo on left)

He also needed to Escape (W) from corporate life....

It's too easy to be like a hamster on our journey of life.

.....and he needed a Vacation from Work (W).

Titan Missle - money wasted on excessive arms, injustice


and most importantly the whole point of this exercise we call life...
 (I'll add....I increasingly believe there is no point - we live, then die)

  My dad says I think too much -- maybe...no I agree!! -- but I can at least say that I am sucking all the marrow out of the life we are given.
Go.

 

...and so I left ---
