The "ACD Effect" on time passing (prior to a trip)

Twichaldinho · Post by **Twichaldinho** » Thu 11th Mar 2010 05:35 pm

Google Maps, Live Webcams, ACD daily, my vast photo collection.
I am an Amsterdam Addict for sure.

I try not to think about it until a few days before the trip.

Or at least I try

LMAO!! I was on google maps every day before my last trip and my girlfriend was like let me guess what you are doing AGAIN mr! Lol. It does seem to help a bit being able to virtually explore before the trip, but it can also be an ass when you cant down certain roads and thats when frustration kicks in and you start to daydream of being able to teleport there and then lol.

Man. I though it was OCD or something. Happy to not be alone. But for a month before my trips i spend a solid 2-3 hours on google street view and forums. I love hyping myself up.

Yea! i sometimes have a virtual walk & show mates who havent been yet.

This is all I have been doing for weeks haha!

But it's cool because I will be familiar with some routes now. I booked my flight back in December (for April) and back then I was thinking April is an age away!! But it's actually gone by pretty quick. All the travel stories and other stuff on here helps to pass the time too. Now it's 4 and a bit weeks to go and im there baby!

yeah, Amsterdam Compulsive Disorder. I've got that, all the symptoms (streetview, forum and anything on tv that might have a glimpse of a canal on it).
If there's a cure, i'm not interested.
