Well ... the greatest trip that I will ever take comes up a little less that 10 days from now. I'm hoping it's all that it's being made out to be. There should be a lot of awesome places to take pictures of giant checker boards, people on the beach, and sunsets. It's awesome that I can eat whenever I want to, and eat great food prepared by someone else, and drink beer or soda or bottled water whenever I want to ... without having to pay any more than I've already paid. It should be cool that I can hang out on a beach and play soccer or read a book or take pictures of the clear blue water.
All that should be sweet. Don't tell anyone, but no matter if I meet the girl of my dreams or end up with a week long sexual romp with some girl that I'll never see again down in the Dominican Republic ... in no way, shape, or form will this trip be any where close to my trip to the Mediterranean. Sorry. I understand that a lot of people are all sorts of pumped up for this trip, and "it's the greatest trip you'll ever take" since everyone I know is married and are planning on having kids at some point soon. I'm not ... on either account. It's not going to be the greatest trip I've ever been on ... and I'm sorry to say that it's not going to be the greatest trip that I'll ever be on either. I have a lot more fun planned in trips to England, back to Sicily, or NHL drafts than I do for this week long "vacation".
The good thing is that I got in when the getting was good. This week long excursion to another country doesn't cost me anything more than going down the ocean would cost for a week over Memorial Day weekend. Sure, I could have used the money for house stuff ... fixing things up or creating something amazing once I buy my own place ... or going on a trip that I wanted to take. At the end of the day though, it's not really the money.
I'll check back in once I'm back, that way everyone can read about the greatest trip I'll ever take.
