    I somehow have the feeling I should be embarrassed about traveling. Like it's excessive or ostentatious or something. But the fact is that my wife and I have good jobs, no kids, few expenses, and our time is our own to spend doing what we want to do. And we are having a great time having adventures with each other! We are 50, healthy, and able to travel comfortably and semi-frequently. I need to be OK with that, and proud of it, rather than ashamed about it, and not talking about our adventures.

You have aligned with a culture that values moderation and modesty and your itinerary is signaling virtues outside of your chosen clique. This is the fundamental structure by which we align our lives. Behold: an essay on the word "boogie."
