			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Admit it, we all have OCD</strong> when it comes to travel.  Even the most spontaneous of travelers have that one special thing they always pack, or that special routine before leaving for the next destination.</p>
<p>I will be the first person to admit that I have a bit of OCD (although my boyfriend may argue the &#8220;a bit&#8221; part), so in spirit of the topic, I thought I&#8217;d share my own travel OCD&#8217;s.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m a list person.  I always makes a list of what I need to pack and cross them off as I pack them.  I even put it on my bag and double check it before I go out the door.  (On a side note, check out <a href="http://thetravelersnotebook.com/packing-lists/packing-list-cambodia/">this list</a> or submit your own over on the <a href="http://matadornetwork.com/">Matador Network</a>.)</p>
<p>I also usually have a folder in my carry-on with my itinerary, boarding passes, or any reservations I might have (car, hotel).   I&#8217;m going to blame this on my excellent organizational skills, being a teacher and all.</p>
<p>Starbucks is practically a must have.  Starbucks can be found in most airports (except Philadelphia apparently), and is actually the only fast food/drink place in John Wayne Airport in Orange County, so I usually don&#8217;t have much trouble with that one.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-339" title="sbuxcup" src="http://milesofabbie.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/sbuxcup-199x300.jpg" alt="sbuxcup" width="199" height="300" /></p>
<p>Even after the traveling is over, the OCD tendency continues!  One of the first things I do when I get home is unpack and put away everything.  If I put it off, a week will go by and it will still be sitting there.</p>
<p>So there you go, I&#8217;ve put my OCD tendencies out there, now it&#8217;s your turn &#8211; fess up!</p>
