Changes.

It's so difficult for me to plan anything.  I don't do well with planning months in advance nor even at times hours in advance.  I just don't do well with that.  A little ironic with all of the planning I have to do at work, I know, but my own life is the complete opposite...thank you Gemini side.  The plans to go to Bali seem to be getting further away or just a little bit more gray.  After agreeing to go to Ireland next year with my mom over spring break, she didn't get the time off but instead got the 2 weeks after school ends off and I just couldn't tell her no after seeing how excited she was.  Now my fear is this....if I go to Ireland in June I might not go to Bali in June.  A big part of me just wants to go to Ireland and then take off from there for Bali, but I don't want to leave my mom alone to get home.....but I think I could do it.  I'm a little worried right now, but I know it'll all work out.  Maybe to Bali for late July/August instead?

The Box.

So.  I've bought my box, of course you would know since I already wrote about it here.  Tonight I cleaned and found the islands travel magazine I bought at LAX on the way home from Hawaii.  It's one that I said would help me to take off and find new exotic places to travel to.  The magazine is now destroyed, but my box has some new cool pictures and sayings. 

Fall.

Rusty red is appearing everywhere.  The evening sun casts golden hues across the horizon.  Green is fading quicker than a flash of lightening.  I miss spring and summer.   I've never been very fond of fall.  I've never enjoyed the lush green carpet of the world fading.  I've never been a fall person.  I have two exceptions to this, the first being a 2-3 day span where the leaves are still vivid on the trees with a Michigan fall sky, cooler weather (but still warm enough to have my car windows open), and a certain smell of fall floating through the air.   The second are the days when the fall has disappeared to a beautiful winter wonderland of white fields and cascading flakes falling from the sky.  After about a month of snow, I'm ready for spring. 

Over the past two weeks I decided to offer myself up as a travel buddy to my mom.  She's always wanted to go to Ireland, so I told her I'd go this coming spring break.  I'm not sure how this is going to change my plans for the summer, but a trip to Ireland won't be a cheap trip.  It's not that I don't want to go, I'm going to love it in Ireland, it's just that my heart is now set on going to Bali.  Maybe it'll just be a trip a month later than I originally planned?  Like a late June, early July trip?
