Count how many times you answer “yes” to the following:
1. Before leaving, you clean as though the local newspaper is coming to do a photo spread on your lifestyle.
2. You say goodbye to your dwelling (whether you do this in private or in front of others, it's a "yes").
3. You consider packing to be more of a chore than unpacking.
4. You feel compelled to overpack.
5. While getting ready you wonder if it's really worth all the hassle.
6. Insomnia stalks you before departure.
7. You worry your house will be robbed.
8. You're concerned you'll get sick or get in an accident while you're away.
9. It occurs to you that you may never return.
10. You think family and/or friends may not be pleased with your leave-taking.
11. You wonder if you'll still have a job when you get back.
12. You're terribly disappointed that you'll miss an important event while you're gone.
13. Your heart is heavy with the thought of how much you will miss your pet(s).
14. Your heart is heavy with the thought of how much your pets will miss you.
15. You wonder if your house will still be there when you return.
16. When you come home you're tempted to kiss or stroke an inanimate part of your house (i.e., the ground, your bed, your kitchen counter).
17. You feel better putting your suitcases away instead of taking them out.
If you said "yes" to 7 or more, you are a reluctant traveler.
