Hi, my name is Christy and I'm an addict. A travel addict.
Telltale signs that you are too:
-Your favorite websites include BBC travel, Lonely planet, G Adventures, and several travel blogs.
-You have mileage accounts with every major airline alliance.
-You have more than one airline mileage credit card, from which you've garnered multiple flights.
-You purchase everything with mileage credit cards to accrue miles.
-You're waiting to plan your next trip until you get those last few mileage miles credited to your account.
-You feel the need to plan a trip because you're running out of things you usually get from Duty Free stores in International Terminals. (Yes, I'm talking about buying makeup. And Galaxy chocolate bars.)
-You know when the booking windows open for which dates.
-You know exactly which tiny airline to look up for flights to your remote destination.
-You speak Airport code fluently. Maybe better than some airline employees.
-Your year doesn't revolve around school breaks anymore. You don't even know when school breaks are. Your year revolves around your travel schedule. (Except possibly for spring break. You know when that is and avoid traveling then like it's the source of the plague.)
-You only buy clothing that travels well (lightweight, linen for hot places, stretchy, non-wrinkle pants)
-You buy appliances based on adaptable voltage (110~250, not just 110 for us Americans).
-You have an App for converting measurements and currency on your phone.
-Your phone always has time and weather listings for your favorite destinations and upcoming trips (I've currently got:Home, Napa, Stinson Beach, King's Beach [Tahoe], Newport Beach, Utah, North Idaho, Virginia, San Juan ([PR], London, Rome, Istanbul, Santorini)
-Your travel backpack/suitcase is always ready for a last-minute trip and has in it: Headlamp, first-aid kit (complete with antibiotics for stomach maladies), sunblock, insect repellent and to-go Tide packets.
-You go to stores like REI just to peruse from time to time and garner ideas about a new system for packing things or what to wear or about making your trip easier. (I love REI!)

You missed the part where you drag your super cool sister along with you on your next adventure, just so you have someone to laugh at, I mean with. :)
