although i take great pleasure in living on this island, i'm ready for a jaunt.

i've done it, purchased my plane ticket home for the holidays. after much research and planning, i've decided to return on december 21 and indulge in american food and the glow of family and friends until january 8. i'll be splitting my time between myrtle beach and cola in an attempt to see all the people i love and miss. so if you are available for a burrito or a beer, let me know.
as i'm in love with traveling, i couldn't help but research other flight plans online too. the list of destinations on my 'must see' list is growing so i need to get busy. next stop, hong kong!! exploring that metropolis on the internet i am convinced it will be a great getaway. i'd planned to go for 4 days but quickly talked myself into a 9 day adventure. i was also able to convince carrie chan to go with. we travel and party well together. making reservations for a hostel in the city at our favorite bar/restaurant/internet cafe/coffee shop, nest. found what appears to be a great place for only $17 per person per night for a private room with a bathroom. what?!? hostels rule.

departure's set for november 19. let the countdowns commence!!
