Come sail away

I am completely desperate for a vacation.  I love travelling, and it’s basically all I would do if I became incredibly wealthy.  I come back from one trip and start preparing for the next one.  It’s one of the better traits I inherited from my father, who has seen a large chunk of the world, including some pretty cool, exotic places (such as living in Ethiopia for awhile). 

It also makes me a bit neurotic at times, because I’m a total obsesser.  As such, it’s driving me crazy that I don’t have any travel plans right now.  In the last year, I took two long-weekend trips- one to Seattle and one to Las Vegas.  I am so ready for a real, extended VACATION.  My problem though, is that I can’t decide where to go.  I can’t afford most of the places in my Top 10, at least not for awhile.  I suppose if I waited til summer, I might be able to afford a bigger, better trip but I need to go.  SOON!

Places I’m considering: 

NYC- Still can’t believe I haven’t been here yet.  It’s like mecca for a city-lover such as myself, but I’m also afraid that if I go it will turn into that place I obsess about moving to.  I did that with London for a good 5 years.

London- 3rd time’s a charm.  I love this city with my whole being.  I feel like I belong here.

Japan- Specifically Tokyo and Osaka.  I love all the ridiculous cutesy stuff of Japanese pop-culture.  Who doesn’t?  Plus, Osaka is basically the eating capital of the world.  It’s a must-experience.

Seattle- This city blew me away, and I would not mind going back at all.  We had an amazing time there, and I actually really enjoy rainy weather.

Anyway, I’ll keep checking hotwire for deals and see where I end up… I suppose it gives me something to do anyway.
