DEAR CR-ABBY:
Is it possible -- or normal -- for someone to lack the desire to travel? I am a 23-year-old female college graduate with a good job. I am involved in a serious relationship and still live with my parents because of financial constraints.
I like to think my life is pretty normal.
When my friends graduated from college, they all backpacked through Europe before starting their jobs. I was content to stay home, relax and readjust to life off-campus. Now that my friends are accruing vacation time, they are planning all sorts of trips -- cruises, vacations, road trips to visit old roommates, etc. None of this appeals to me.
I am a nervous traveler and tend to feel uncomfortable when I'm outside my "comfort zone." I'm not afraid to admit that I can be uptight, and I don't "roll with the punches" very well.
Last summer my boyfriend and I spent several weekends in a beach town about two hours away. I had a great time, although I was just as happy to go home at the end. I am not depressed or aloof. Give me an afternoon at the local mall or a movie rather than a weekend in Las Vegas. Am I weird? -- HOMEBODY IN MASSACHUSETTS

Dear Nesting Neophyte Near Nantucket,
Cr-Abby apologizes for his belated response,...I usually get this done in the morning but my Metamucil didn't kick in on time and I spent the morning on the pot and the keyboard cord wasnt long enough to reach the John. Much better now despite the roids.
Back to you and your "am I normal" question...
Not wanting to travel today with all the fun the TSA has thrown into the process is not only normal but completely understandable.
Many young adults who should have their a##'es out of their parents houses have opted to be a free loader like you so that's is probably the new normalcy too.

However, with all that said, Cr-Abby would suggest that you exit the nest in steps (no, a trip to the mall doesn't count). Here's the plan;
1) Find an apartment with a roommate that is affordable and get you bum butt outta Momma's house.
2) Commute to work without Daddy dropping you off (trike, bike train or bus...make no matter to me).
3) Let the boyfriend introduce you to the 13 states of the Union (oops I mean start with the 13).
Have you heard of a little thing called the "Global Economy"? Being the head typists in the Smith Corona temporary typists factory pool doesn't have much of a future.
Cr-Abby
