So I am pretty sure I'm going to either California, Vegas, or both this summer. I'm aiming for the end of July, around my bday. Can I afford it? No. Do I want to go out there? Yes! But I'll have a tour guide in my friend Jenn, so I won't be wandering aimlessly about wondering what trouble I can get myself into. She's living in Cali now but she lived in Vegas for a while and wants to show me around out there too. Now I really AM going to have to get over my fear of flying!

I was supposed to go to Florida next month with my friend Carissa to visit her sis. But the way work is, we don't get our vacation time for the year renewed until our original hire date. I think mine is either June or July - so I have no vacation time until then. If I went for a week and lost all that time without pay (which is stupid and I wouldn't do it anyway), it'd end up messing with my insurance and everything, so I'm stuck here. That's what brought on the urge to go somewhere even farther away because I've been wanting to go to California for ages. My Mom and I always said we were going to take a vacation there (she always wanted to move out there, actually) and I feel like I need to go out there for a visit so I can accomplish something she never got to do. Who knows, I may love it and never come back!
