Travel Bug

Apparently this bug is very expensive. Just got back from Seattle a couple days ago and had a great time there. I'm waiting for my friend to send me pictures so I can post some of them here. I think in total I spent about $800 including airfare for the four-day trip. When I didn't think it could get worse, I just realized I'll be in Europe for 2 weeks in August, then North Carolina/New York for 2 weeks in October. On top of all this I have to pay for rent in San Diego. Luckily, work is going well so traveling is less stressful.

As expensive as it is, I still think it's an invaluable experience and great opportunity while I'm still young and have no responsibilities like raising a family. I'll write a nice trip report for all my travels in the near future filled with pictures and commentary.

Things I need to buy sometime before August:
1. laptop (super important #1 priority)
2. furniture (as money allows after #1)
3. digicam (back-burner but useful when traveling)
