I take it all back?

It's so much easier to travel than it is to host.

If your travelling, you've just got to show up and participate.

If you're hosting, you're cooking food for everyone, sleeping on floors, cleaning things up, buying extra food at the grocery store, keeping track of the time and the food schedule, keeping the peace.

If you're travelling, you're just eating the food, sleeping in someone else's nice bed, bringing the mess with you, NOT spending food on your own groceries.

THANKS to all of our hosts in our southern sojourn.
