When returning from holiday, one starts to think of holidays

[fivemack]

By 'south of the Rio Grande', I mean 'into Mexico' rather than 'anywhere south of 31N' - I thought this was standard usage, but various of my friends in Cambridge interpreted it the other way.

I feel either very ill travelled or very environmentalisty.

I have been "only" to France, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and Egypt (which brief transits through Belgium). Three of those only with my parents rather than once of an age to be picking my own holidays.

Even as much as 50 years ago I would probably have counted as reasonably well travelled, but these days it's much less than the norm (for Brits, anyway).

I feel either very ill travelled or very environmentalisty.

I have reservations about the use of "well-travelled" as an exact synonym for "widely-travelled". (Noting that I claim to be neither.) I don't have neat definitions for how I perceive the two, and I do tend to believe there's a positive correlation between the two, but width for width's sake is not necessarily something I would care to associate with any form of the word "good".
