Globe-trotting

For those who didn't know, my dear friends Jean and Ben have relocated to Hong Kong. Jean will be teaching drama and Ben will probably be finding work with his web design skills. No doubt it will be an exciting time for them! I'm now thinking about going to visit them which means *really* focusing on my work in order to have the time to spend on more traveling.

This 'travel' thing really is a slippery slope situation. The more I travel, the more possible and uneventful the idea of travel becomes. I still don't have that mindset, but I am surrounded by it. With airfares being (relatively) affordable, lots of Irish folks travel to other countries multiple times a year. Like four or five times a year. I rarely leave California even once a year, let alone the US. I am not used to living with the reality and accessibility of travel. But it's also deceiving because the expenses to add up. And, like anything, I am privileged enough to have the possibility to purchase it, but is that where I want to spend my limited resources (time, money, energy, etc.)?

Much to contemplate...after I finish my essays.
