I've traveled all over the United States. With my parents and my little brother. With work. With my ex-husband. I realized I've never taken a true vacation that didn't have an obligation (family or business or favors for a friend) involved. It's always been about visiting grandparents, aunts and uncles, friends in the military or pulling off another big event in another random town. So, 2010 is the year of me. The year of finally doing things that I want to do. Of allowing a little bit of selfishness through after a life lived for everyone else. For me, that selfishness is coming in the form of travel. While we spend these last few months living with my parents and while I have that disposable income at my fingertips, I am going to make the best of it. Come August we won't have any money left over to play with. We'll have to make due with what we have. But for the next six months I am a free agent and I am going to do with that amazing things.
Heidi and I still have to work out the details of our trip to NYC but it's definitely happening. In May. We'll spend 7 days trolloping around and getting in trouble. We'll see Stomp and the Addams Family Musical. We'll hit up the Klit Klub and The National Underground. We'll be tourists with cameras and not be ashamed. We will send up our sixteenth year of friendship with this amazing trip and I cannot wait. I'm ready to have a plane ticket to make it real.
Last April when we flew to Texas and had all sorts of trouble getting home, American Airlines gave me a $100 voucher for our trouble. I wasn't sure what this voucher would parlay into but I finally bit the bullet and DID IT. I'm going to San Diego from July 16-24 and will spend all day lying on the beach, writing, taking pictures and hula hooping in the sand. I'll probably stay in Encinitas and hopefully some place right on the beach or within a short walk to it. I'm going all by myself (which I have never done before) and letting the Universe be my guide. This is huge for me. HUGE. And I cannot wait. CANNOT WAIT!!!!
Summer is going to be amazing. It's something awesome to look forward to. More big changes in my life. I can feel them coming. It's like a spark ready to ignite. I'm so in love with everything around me right now. Pinch me, I'm dreaming.
