I didn't do much traveling last year. I just felt the desire to stay home in the city I love with the cozy house, the pup and the boyf. So I barely left the city limits - even to my most beloved Mojave. This year, apparently is going to be very different.
My work has ramped down, which means I have a lot of time on my hands. Of course, I'm practically broke - thank you economy for destroying my safety net - however, you don't necessarily need money to travel. I traveled all over the world before I was 20 getting airline discounts and using my mom's flight attendant benefits. Now, all I have is some frequent flyer miles - not a lot - but enough to get me to South America. And one of my good friends is down there, so I'm aheaded south next month. But, before I do that, I'm going to Sedona to use up a week's stay before it's lost. And bad, timing, but I'm headed back to the Bay Area for She's Geeky (even though it falls on my bday).
Speaking of my birthday. I have usually thrown some crazy party - like the one at Groundcontrol with the flaming cake or my Naked Sushi Party or performed live on stage at Bootie. But this year, I want to keep it low profile.
Anyway I'm excited to be traveling again. You've either got time or money, but never both at the same time. I'll use the time while I can, cause there will be money soon enough.
