Cucumber sandwiches, reading blogs (check out
The Window Seat, a smashing one for travel), trying not to dent my hat when I go through the security X-ray machine, the SkyMall catalogue, giving the fellows at Immigration and Customs a tickle, beard conditioners, crumpets, Photoshopping my passport picture so I look just a smidge taller.
"The Gnome" by Pink Floyd; those chaps on American Idol; the sound of the captain turning off the fasten seatbelt sign (it's music to my ears!)
On the Road; Around the World in 80 Days; The Complete Idiot's Guide to British Royalty; the atlas.
Magellan; Neil Armstrong; Jacques Cousteau; Anyone who can claim a bushier beard than me (bring it on, Santa!).
Easy Rider; Endless Summer; Road Trip; The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (oh, you know you loved it, too); A Gnome Named Gnorm; Roaming Romeo.
Dora the Explorer; The Amazing Race; Lost. And I'm rather besotted with "What Not To Wear" (as long as they don't decide that red pointy hats are passé, of course).
