What makes me pull the trigger? I’ve been thinking about this lately. There are some travels I ruminate over (Egypt again at some point soon is one example). There are also the ones I play with on Google Flights whilst never really planning on taking that next step. And then there are the ones which I dream up, and then before I know it we’re going, bringing a trip into reality, making it happen.

Turin. Torino. I went with a goal in mind — I wanted to see the temple there, at the Museo Egizio. Lately my friend and I had been doing hotel crawls, but this wasn’t a hotel crawl. We stayed at one hotel, not a perfect one, but a perfectly adequate one. Good room, Egyptian-style spa. Confused Americans at check-in. A pretty good oat milk cappuccino on the first day, not so good the second (in Sardinia they didn’t even understand what I meant by oat milk, so we’re doing well here). I was here to see one of the transported temples outside Egypt, and the hotel certainly fit the theme.
