I really wanted to get out of town to a warmer place before the end of March, but honestly I'm not sure if it's going to happen. The issues of taking the right days off, the right days for cheap flights, the rights days for cheap hotel rooms, and to a lesser degree, finding a good travel buddy, are making things harder than they should be.

But still, I really need to get out of town in the worst way. I'm absolutely off the charts getting the shakes. I have this explosion of energy that I need to release. I'd like to go to Vegas for a few days, but that in particular is more fun with other people (I don't wanna be one of "those guys" at a casino bar).

Oddly enough, the Blue Man Group opening night in Orlando is only three months and change away. That one I really need a travel buddy (or girlfriend) for, or I'll be pimping the imaginary friend in the empty seat. I can't wait that long though for an escape. I need something sooner.

Last year at this time I had little volleyball trips to keep me busy. Plus there was the long weekend in Orlando and the conference in Vegas. It was a good start to the year in terms of travel.
