Wow. That's one way for a card to get attention
Hmm, wouldn't that be the 2 of Swords? Even though, admittedly they're both 2s, and the suit of Wands can sometimes be similar to the suit of Swords...
In the RWS deck the Two of Wands shows a man holding the globe, and while still having it in view, he's looking at what's aheaf of him. I think that the globe in this case may actually represent the trip you'd like to take, maybe it's an indicator of your excitement and anticipation to do whatever you want to do that makes this trip that important. And as everyone else said, it's time to plan and make up your mind about all your goals related to this trip, while keeping the big picture in mind.
As for the Two of Wands coming up in the reading, I'm not sure... Since it was about someone else, it meant something about the querent... But at the same time it's definitely the card trying to keep you focused on itself.
