Barbados asked: How 'bout some 'what if' questions...if you could travel anywhere? If you had a year off of work & an endless money supply what would you do with your time?
1. What if you could travel anywhere?
Well, that would indeed be awesome... next question. Oh wait, you probably want me to answer that right? Many of you know that traveling is a passion of mine, so this list is actually really long. Currently on the list of things to do/ where to go: Guatamala/Yucatan, visiting the highlands and Mayan ruins; Spain, Barcelona and the northern winery areas; Peru; Mexico--- all over. Sib and I are planning a backpacking trip through Europe this summer so I'll keep ya'll posted on that.
2. What if you had a year off of work and an endless money supply what would you do with your time?
Oh my, that would be living the dream, by the way. Well, first of all, I would take full advantage of the endless money supply by paying off my car, buying a condo, and getting out of my crap gym contract. I would stay in New York for a few weeks enjoying the great food, a fabulous night life, and seeing all the Broadway shows I could stomach. I get a little anxious when I don't have structure in my life, though, so I'd have to break up the vacation with volunteerism in South America somewhere, maybe in Peru for about 6 months. Then travel down there. Then back to the U.S. to hit up great concerts, restaurants, the ski slopes, REI, and IKEA. I'm pretty boring, I know. All would be invited on my adventures, so if this actually happens I'll keep you posted...
There you go bob!!

IF-- Rudyard Kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, but make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream--and not make dreams your master;
If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster and treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, and stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings and risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
and lose and start again at your beginnings and never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew to serve your turn long after they are gone, and so hold on when there is nothing in you, except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, if all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds' worth of distance run--
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more-- you'll be a Man, my son!

As much as I enjoy IKEA, an endless money supply for me would definitely include different stores. I'm probably far too vain for my own good. Blast! Another sin to repent of!
Northern winery areas huh??? Is there something I don't know about you?? ;)

Awesome. So when you make it big you will be inviting me on those trips... Just making sure. =)
