My Pavlovian Response


 I have a memory from my childhood and adolescence that I take with me when I travel.  Every time my mom would take me on a trip, we would always get something new.  It was usually new clothes for our vacation.  Seeing that she didn’t have a lot of money, vacations were rare so it was a big deal.  All aspects of our trip seemed new and exciting!

So in a Pavlovian response to buying airline tickets, I always feel like I need to get something new…I know …pretty ridiculous! For the obvious reason being we love to travel, one can see how this could be an expensive tradition to maintain.  At one point, before we had our daughter, we were taking three trips a year! That could really result in a closet full of sundresses. 

However I have found a way to indulge my little tradition even on this upcoming trip to panama…All Natural, environmentally friendly sunscreen and bug spray.  When it came in the mail today (cutting it very close to our departure), I was so excited!
