I hate waiting.

The worst part of traveling isn't the crowd at the airport, confusion caused by flight delays, or even the headache resulting from the baby next to crying for the entire duration of the flight. It's the wait.

When you first decide to take a trip, you get really excited, going online to research sites of interest and travel arrangements, creating an intinerary, and planning your wardrobe. That takes a week, two at the most. Then you have to wait. Wait for your passport, wait for your plane tickets, but mostly waiting for the day your trip begins.

This happens with concerts, too. Tickets go on sale, you get psyched up about the show, but then you have to wait at least a month for the event. By the day of the event, the excitement has lost some of it's glow.

I am hoping a trip to London is a big enough event it doesn't have the same effect as a concert.
