On Having the Jitters
by Zia ~ August 13th, 2005. Filed under: Travel.The “I need to check my e-mail” jitters, that is. Seriously, I have an addiction; remove me from the Internet for more than 24 hours and I get shaky. 36 hours? I feel weak. 48 hours and I’m about to perish without my digital lifeline. All I can think, while looking at the stunning beauty of the coast, is whether I should start using flickr for my digital photos.
In all seriousness, this has been a great vacation. Scenery, gorgeous hikes, redwood forests, tidepools with starfish. Unfortunately, we haven’t surfed once; there aren’t any waves to speak of. Steve is upset about this, while I, dude, am more philosophical. And I’m particularly looking forward to our houseboat bed and breakfast tonight.
Peace out.

Zia,
You are such a geek! You’re surrounded by the ocean and redwoods and you want to check e-mail? I admit, I’d probably be just as bad. When I read this, I had to think of what you said earlier, “I think of four days in the same way as caffeine withdrawals…”I miss you terribly. Bring me back a seashell.

I know, I’m a freak.
