Work is sending me to Chicago for the week. I know what you’re thinking: “How fun! That’ll be a nice vacation!”
I really do hope I can find some time to enjoy the city a little, maybe catch a 1/2 price show or two. Realistically, I’ll be in training from 9 to 5 and then after that I’ll be working on all the stuff I’d be doing if I were still in Utah.
But I enjoy travel. Despite that nagging feeling that this would all be so much more fun with someone to go with me. My family’s been out of town for the past few days and I’ve realized how much I emotionally depend on them. I live in SLC, away from KTown, but still, it’s nice to be able to stop by and visit with people I know love me. Sorry, Am. I realized you and your family were here too, but just a little late in the game. (Oh, and sorry to Cam and Code, too). I look forward to the day that I’ve got a family of my own to take on trips, etc.
Gosh I hope I can just sit and breathe a little this week. I’m getting a little tired of running (but I want to accomplish so much!). I went on a brief date last night. I could only fit in a dinner date with how much I needed to get done before this morning’s flight. Yes, a dinner date sounds grown-up and all, but no matter how naturally charming I am, I do worry about having to entertain for too long on my own. Nice girl, though. I’d like to “date” her. Our schedules are just horrendous when placed side by side. I guess I need to make time for someone instead of something. At least for a bit as I try this out.
I’ve been out of the formal dating game for a little too long. Thankfully my life is in such a better place now. So there’s that.
Okay, since I’m at the airport, I’m going peg down a few Travel Tips By Dave (TTBD, for short). Granted, I’m not the most experienced traveler. But here you go!
- Where pajamas on the plane: I don’t mean literally (but maybe). I just know it’s going to get uncomfortable at some point, you’re going to get hot, you’re going to want to sleep SO WHY NOT make sure you’re as confortable as you can be.
And…I’ll think of some more later. I think it’s time to relax (that’s key!) while I wait for my flight to board.
