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.

*Nods* - my holidays as a child generally involved tents or staying with a relative (they were still holidays, so it's not like I was deprived!) - I didn't go abroad at all until I was 13 and that was on a French exchange, so not exactly glamorous.

I think of myself as being conservative bordering on prissy about where I travel because I generally only go to places where I can generally 1)get digestible vegetarian food, 2)have access to Western-style plumbing and 3)be reasonably assured of my personal safety - e.g. no war zones or areas with extensive terrorism.
