go on a trip alone

I had been meaning to get out of town for some time. I made these plans with friends to meet in Miami and spend some time in Orlando. After I did my bookings, they bailed for the Orlando bit of it. So we met in Miami but then I still made the trip to Orlando by myself. I was fun.

i think i need to spend some time alone so i can just reflect or try to meditate. I think this would be good for me. I guess i also want to feel independent.

Ours is no caravan of dispair.

I left for Avon on Friday night after they opened the passes on I-70. I got there 5 or so hours after I left. This was supposed to be an easy, 2 hour drive. No, no, not for Serastar.

My time in the mountains was good for me. I should have gone to SLC, but I chickened out. Too bad. We’ll see what happens next on my journey.

...I love Paris in the Fall.

Maybe I’ll go to Paris alone next year. I think it might be lonely, but maybe that would be a good thing.

I went on a two-week mostly unplanned train trip through Europe this spring. I meant to spend most of the time in Italy, but, not liking it much, I just up and left for Switzerland. So liberating.

...part of my routine. And now, I don’t travel nearly as much as I used to, and never, ever alone. Going to Switzerland right after the start of 2004 was one of the best trips I’ve ever taken- and I went alone. I had time to be with myself and think. As lame as camping can be alone, I find that traveling is really, really great when you don’t have to plan around others.

I really need to find funds to do this sort of thing. There in lies the real issue. To go alone, I need to spring for EVERYTHING. But it would be oh so worth it.
