But really, I'm doing y'all a favor, because I don't have have anything particularly interesting to say these days.
That's not to say that I'm not full of wit and verve, because let's be honest, I'll be full of that well into my octogenarian days. Our weeks have been, mostly, filled with the mundane aspects of everyday life in one's home country.
Super Husband and I have both been working, trying to regain some of the savings that we'd built up in Beijing and then run through during almost three months of unemployment.
We've also made a list of places that we'd like to go before we have children. It's a long list, so who knows if we'll get to all of them, but we'll do our best. We're currently debating where should be first, India and South East Asia, or Europe. We're leaning towards the former, as Europe is generally more family friendly in terms of public transit, and "health concerns".
Here's our list, as it stands now. There's no particular order to the list, it's just the order in which we thought of the countries.
- India
- South East Asia
- Turkey
- Morocco
- Peru
Wait, hold the press -- A quick search on Kayak shows that a trip to Turkey may be in our future.
Oh, how I love to travel. So long savings, hello spice market.
Speaking of travel, I diiiid just make a 2,000 mile drive. Houston - Dallas - Childress - Amarillo (this is where it got exciting, because we were on Historic Route 66) - Tucumcari - Albuquerque - Phoenix - Barstow - Bakersfield - San Mateo.
Although not exactly a vacation, it was still nice to enjoy even the illusion of traveling. And I got to bark at the Sea Lions, just like Nonnie taught me.
And it's always nice to be missed. Hyoga and Midna will hardly leave my side for fear that I'll be leaving for more than a few hours again.
