wanderlust: quenching scheduled

several months ago i created a savings account with the login ‘wanderlust’.  since then, i’ve been squirreling away money. i’ve written before how my desire to travel has been almost painful at times, and i decided earlier this year that i wouldn’t let it torture me anymore, economic bubbles bursting or not.  a bunch of my friends took off for europe last week, and that pretty much made my pent up wanderlust overflow. it has been more than 6 years since jay and i have taken any kind of extended vacation, and we both really need it. i am blessed to have a well-paying job and flexible boss so that i can now report that some long-awaited adventures have been booked.

this weekend, i purchased 2 sets of plane tickets.  first, to Puerto Vallerta, Mexico in mid-August, to join my parents on their first ever get-on-a-plane-and-go-somewhere vacation. just a long weekend, but still exciting.  i might get to swim with dolphins!

and just now, i purchased two tickets to europe for mid-september to mid-october, during which time i will celebrate my 33rd birthday.  1 month.  sfo->amsterdam->berlin, germany->prague, czech republic->vienna, austria->budapest, hungary->amsterdam->sfo. to say i am excited is a severe understatement.
