How do you know if you travel too much?

Race report for my first tri is coming soon. I am still waiting for them to adjust the time for my swim to be correct, but in a nutshell I was top three in swim, had some major improvements on the bike and ran like crap. 2 out of 3 isnt awful for my first race back in almost 3 years though!

After almost a month away from home I started realizing there are some big hints for me that I travel too much:
1) I never have the correct currency in my wallet and I always have currency from at least 3 different countries
2) I spend more hours in a plance seat than in the seat at my desk
3) I know all airport codes by heart. CUN is one that I always do a double take on because I read it incorrectly
4) I never know the time zone or the city I am in
5) Without fail I get into my first cab and speak the wrong language.
6) I havent unpacked my bags in a month
7) My dogs forget who I am until I open my suitcase with their presents I bring from whatever Pet store I find on my trip. Yes I have resorted to buying their love. And if I keep this schedule I am going to have to start buying Chris's love too.
8) The flight attendents on the plane know who I am
9) Every week in my training schedule there is an off day that says Travel to xxx
10)When putting in my OOO I realize that my return date is longer than the longest vacation I have ever had.


Yes there are some perks to all the travel that I am very grateful for, but it is always good to be back home!
