Exploring, and not just escaping.

I am getting a little frustrated with one too many of my travel plans falling through thus far this year: St-Lucia with Manfriend; an all-girls' trip to the Caribbean islands; Vanuatu with my cousins and brothers, to visit our ailing grandfather.

All those plans are now scratched, scratched, scratched.


It is misleading, you know, to think that you must work more in order to save more money, all so that you can travel more. Because the truth is, the more you work, the more work they give you in return, because you are such a hard worker. And because you have so much work to do, who has the time to take a week-long vacation far, far away?

Such a Catch-22 it all is.

A little trip down memory lane, if only to help me escape the daily drudgery of working in an office right now:

June
, are you here yet? Manfriend and I will be traveling to each other's hometowns, to show each other where we were born, and where we spent parts of our childhood. We will be spending a weekend in Columbus, Ohio, and then, later that month, we are planning on renting a convertible to zip down the East Coast, and across the Canadian border to go to Ottawa and Montreal (Toronto will hopefully be later this year, on Halloween weekend, for my uncle's masked ball-themed wedding). Asia in December, perhaps? I heard parts of Korea and Japan are absolutely beautiful when blanketed in white, winter snow.

I can't wait!
