Seven Deadly Sins

Travel's seven deadly sins

Reminded me somewhat about often what we do, depending on our mood. Like shopping the "wrong" food whilst hungry. Overindulgence over food and drinks is just one of the sins.

I'm not 100% sure sloth is a travel sin... It very much depends on the type of trip you are after... I've spent many a trip just relaxing in front of a pool.
Yes I could have done that far cheaper by not leaving home, but the fact I wasn't at home meant that there was no reminders of what I needed to be done. Each time when I got back I was feeling very recharged...
As for Envy, well I certainly get that... I counter it by organising my next trip...

Wrong food ... Yes, that is a sin. However food in particular is one of the real joys of traveling. I plan a lot of my activities around the need to eat well, including work trips.

ahh, "the angry traveler" - this one makes me smile actually.
The number of times I've been delayed at some random airport, there's always someone bursting a blood vessel and ranting/being belligerent at airline staff. Apart from making things unpleasant for everyone around them, it's behavior that doesn't do themselves any favours either.

On one instance, a delayed flight in DFW (boarded, then got off again 1hr later, then 2 hrs later..) meant i was likely to miss my connecting Int flight from LAX. Since the flight was AA & the onward flight was CX, I doubted there was much they could do for me - but I was polite & open to any alternatives. In the end, they offered to put me up at the DFW Hilton & wrangle me onto another flight.
The guy on the help desk next to me who was yelling, red in the face & carrying on like a pork chop got the "sorry, there's nothing we can do for you".

A little bit of flexibility, calm and politeness goes along way when your travel plans go pear-shaped.
