Without going outside, you may know the whole world.
Without looking through the window, you may see the ways of heaven.
The farther you go, the less you know.

I don't like these modern day travelers, for some, for the most part. They see travelling as a place on the map you put an X because you were there, but most of them the only thing they have is a photograph and nothing else, maybe an instagram picture to make it true, it's not true if people don't see it. If you want to get to know a place, you have to get to know its people, and to get to know its people you have to go where there is no tourism, or where tourism didn't sucked everything out, Tangier for instance, because where is tourism there is money evolved, and from money nothing good will come.

Seattle again.
Probably not this year, but I'd like to go to Las Vegas and California in the next year or two. Maybe Boston.

In May we're going to Austin, TX for my 50th B-Day and in August a trip down around Jupiter, FL. In November it's Lake Tahoe, NV.

Oh, and I almost forgot that I am going up to Cooperstown, NY for the weekend to see Jeter's induction in July.

Yeahhh, the yearly Seattle thing is in danger. PAX West might not even happen, and if it does, the game I'm usually there for might not go (might not make economic sense of attendance is down, which it would certainly figure to be), and if it does it's not clear how many of the other people I usually meet up with there would make it.
It's like five months away, but people need some time to plan, so it feels like a coin flip.

Ugh, at first I hadn't realized that this thread started a month ago, and that the wishes in those earlier posts were real ones, not the sort we'd all be making now: "Once this is over, where you do you want to go?"
Sometimes it's chilling how fast things changed. We're in the middle of trying to figure out when to rebook a cruise that was just canceled (originally scheduled for early May). At this point I'm guessing we might end up booking for December, just to be sure. And even then... will it happen? And if so, will the ship still smell like Lysol spray?
