I’ve got the travel bug…
Now that I’ve gotten back from Vegas I want to go somewhere else…. at first I thought next year I’ll go to Italy because that’s my top destination. Ryan’s lil bro. wants to go with me in 2010. ok… so then I thought, oohhh New Zealand in 2009 because I want to go do parasailing and paragliding and do more skydiving… then I told my friend Christina and now she wants to go with me. So then I thought… hmmm… maybe Australia! I’ve always wanted to go down under. My friend Shauna told me to come with her in 2009 in November.
I like the idea of traveling companions, but the loner in me also just wants to go by myself. I don’t mind if I meet a friend for a day, but I really need to be by myself for a couple days. I’m really craving solitude. I miss being by myself on the farm. I miss the quiet. I miss just doing my own thing without having to worry that other people are having a good time or trying to schedule things around other people.
I’ve decided I’m going to go somewhere for a weekend. A short weekend trip to a beach with nothing to do but read, take walks, think and lounge…. be a cat pretty much. I normally wouldn’t like this kind of trip, but I just need to get my head on straight, make plans, goals and focus on what is important. I feel like I’m going to snap. I used to love chaos, but now it’s stressing me out too much.
I’m also going to just keep my big mouth shut about my travel plans too. Maybe in September I’ll go over the long weekend and just book a little time away. Then next year I’ll hopefully be more inclined to have travel guests on my little excursions visiting countries around the world. My goal is to go to 2 countries every year, either by myself, with friends or with the ball and chain or with the whole family.
Maybe I’ll head to the Bahamas or somewhere WestJet flies for the weekend. Grab a little cabin, take along my journal, my books and just relax for 3 days. Yep, that’s what I’m gonna go. I need something to look forward to in order to get me through the days.
