Nothing in my life I want to change so I can't even say I'd love to come. Done my traveling, had my juvinille fun. I'm bang smack in the middle of adulthood and contentment and enjoying every annoying bump put in my way.

Have fun, even if you go alone, you're sure to meet someone somewhere - I did.

I just wish somewhere along the way I'd learned how to spell better. :o

I did my little E. European adventure that I wanted. Ended up pregnant, married, and abused. In that order.

Now my goal is to give my son stability in his life, and when I've achieved that to some extent.. I'd like to go off on another E. European jaunt. This time I'm making it everywhere I want to go.

No more ending up pregnant and married when I'm supposed to be having the time of my life!! If I end up pregnant and married again, it better be with a man who gives me the time of my life.

Game on.

Too bad Southwest Airlines doesn't fly to New Zealand, because I have a Companion Pass and an assload of drink coupons.

How about a life changing adventure to Cleveland?

what is this? are you too chicken shit to go it alone? :P

cindy, tempting as that may sound...

and tassy, i'm just trying to motivate you to come along.

Jimbo, you osund like a lot of fuckin fun ... I have read your comments for the longest time now and now read YOU ... I am not leaving Canada, but I would definately meet youfor a drink ot twenty!

Providing I could get there, since I am illiterate ... whoops.

I think what you are proposing is what they call in AA a "geographic cure". I'm sure as hell not saying you shouldn't go...GO! But just beware that your 'issues' will most likely resurface when you come back. And hey, go alone...you're more likely to find a way-cool chick when you get out of socal!

I took a leap and moved from OH to FL...and I'm now in the middle of conservative cow country in the aftermath of Charley, Francis and Jeanne with no friends or family anywhere around...So I guess I'm testing out that pioneer spirit. Talk about life changing; everything from lifestyle to my phone, watch, cat, job/school, vehicle, and on and on... And I haven't even had time to clear my head yet.

Sorry darlin, I travel alone.

I'll go! Provided: 1) you pay; 2) you convince mom and dad to watch Audrey; 3) you get me a better job in a better law firm when I get back since I will have abandoned mine; and 4) you pay my bills while we're gone....

Sooo......I'm guessing you're still looking for a more suitable travel buddy? ;-)

I am eating my own dogfood, every day. The cosmos kept handing it back to me, year after year, job after job. I am officially self-employed after years of trying to fit in the corporate mold. And it's not the only dogfood I'm serving up these days.

We've been through this before, Jimbo. You're traveling light for a reason. Embrace it. If you don't, the cosmos will keep handing it back until you get the damned hint.

Run like the wind, dude. Run.

Great concept, bro - but you are throwing out your line in a stream with no keeper fish. Suggestion. But two tickets to Madagascar (or wherever you've left your mojo), stop by USC 5 hours before your flight, look for the young hot chick who is pissed at her boyfriend and parents, throw her into seat 3F, and see what happens. You're far better off with the disenfranchised, hot college girl than you are with the torn up, blog reading, Dilbert advise-giving cyber ho. Surely, you must be...

I would go, and pay my own way, except my wife would kill me and foreigners annoy me... And there is no NFL Sunday Ticket or Tivo over there. And I can't take a hot college chick. And have no desire to scale rocks, go shopping, or take pictures... Fuck it - go by yourself then.

Viva Gustavo

whoa... what happened to the positive stuff?

where all are you going? I'm only asking to know how much dough I have to have to afford to go.

I am totally game because honestly, I need to figure out what is next? I have more education than I need in a job that makes me depressed. I think there has to be more out there. There has to be something I can do to pay the bills that makes me happy. Spending some well deserved time with myself that helps me find that out would be time well spent.

I will tell you, I have done plenty of world traveling on my own. But it is still better to be out on the road and see something profound and have anyone, even someone you don't know to look at and know he/she is having a similar experience. So don't knock asking if anyone wants to go with you, I totally agree, cause geez not everything is about sex!

sean, i'm gonna give that SERIOUS consideration.

and GS, you're on.

I'll go, when do we leave? Just remember I don't have as high of an opinion of you as you do yourself:) If that's ok, then I'll go.

joy, as i am terribly insecure, i'm not sure i could handle that kind of abuse.

what time frame are we talking about? when are you leaving? this has always been on my list of things to do, and I think it's getting time to do it.

Sure thing. What do you think about Argentina as the first stop?
