Ah, Spring break has been pretty nice. I've done a fair amount of travel this break, and while most I think would be tired of driving... I have to admit to myself that I feel a bit of wander-lust. I love going to new places, and seeing new things... and the more I've done it recently, the more I want to keep doing it. I talked to one of the guys down in Tijuana, and he said that you can get a nice 2 bedroom apartment for like $300 a month down there! That's crazy! If it's that cheap that close to the border, can you imagine what it is like in Mexico City? Or even in other parts of the world? I'm really starting to think I should take a month or so off of work and school and get an apartment in some little corner of the world and just hang out. Especially if it were with someone else, can you imagine? 30 days at a place for less than $150 living expense? That would be awesome. That's really what's on my mind right now, getting places. It's hard though, everyone here is so caught up in what they need to do that they never think that sometimes it's nice to say "fuck all" and go to Vegas. Someday I'll find someone that'll agree sometime to do that... I can imagine the situation even now. Hanging out some Friday evening
"Whatcha wanna do?"
"I dunno"
"Wanna go to Vegas?"
"Okay"
That's my idea of Heaven: the freedom to pick up and go... not needing 3 weeks to pack your stuff and plan for everything, but to grab a t-shirt and a toothbrush and head out the door. One of the engineers in Mexico picked us up after we checked-out of our hotel, his comment to the plastic bag I had which contained a change of underwear, a shirt and some deoderant was "You pack light". That's what it's all about... packing light and moving fast. *shrug* Just my thoughts of today.
