Worldtrip a 45 year old's adventures around the world-which include everything from sitting in random McDonalds using his notebook, hanging with 22 year olds, and other immature stuff.

Not everything is perfect here traveling. While these are admittedly problems others may want to have-they start to bug me a little.

1. Stuff left at home-I have a pair of new shoes-but they are at home. My old shoes here are getting holes in them, plus I have a dental nightguard at home-so my teeth are once again griding against each other. I will have to sort that out when I Get home (and get back to work so I have dental insurance).

2. endless brochures/maps/tickets,etc. I have accumulated endless maps/brochures/tickets from trams in other  cities, etc. I keep taking when I find something useless. Now it is a disoragnized mess.

3. Laundry. I have been doing my laundry in the sink but this is not the same as a laundry matt. Right now I am being ripped off to about $5.00 just to wash (not dry) my sweatshirt-which is too  think to wash in the sink. But my pants, undies, etc have been washed in the sink using shampoo as detergent.

4. Museum Fatigue-I have seen a lot which is nice.  But after seeing the 17th red uniform for the British second class sargent from 1815-1819, dealing with other tourists in six different lanugages taking pictures and pressing 27 on an audio program headset to listen to this, it gets tiring.

5. Food: The Brits aren't known for food. I have had lots of fish and chips, but that isn't the healthiest. There are many Thai/Chinese/Italian places, but these are expensive.As mentioned, I can get food at a British Supermarket chain called Sainsbury which is very good and inexpensive-but I have to find a place to eat it-which isn't easy as I dont' want to eat in my hotel-and often times it is raining out.

6. Loneliness-I am ok being alone-but truth be told I am not alone as a college student with other students or alone working while I know many others are doing the same thing working-I am alone travelling in my mid-40's when most are raising families, or doing something the has income coming in.

7. An ever-increase luggage. My bag keeps getting harder to close. I am not buying any large momentos-but even a small bag with a bookmark and couple of pens add to the luggage which I need to carry when checking in/checking out.

8. the future-I have to get back to work eventually
