Now What?

So I am holding off on New Zealand.

My PIC (partner in crime, in case you're behind on your acronyms like I was) won't be able to go this summer, so I respect that and shall not go to such an epic location without.

TravelBestie Code 101.

Which leaves me with an open abyss of nothing to look forward to.

And last time that happened (circa around when/ why this blog started), I was real sad.

I've said this before, but I'd like to reiterate that I am by no means a spoiled brat who has traveled my whole life and MUST travel because it is what's expected.

Traveling happened to me at a later age and I have worked for every plane ticket purchased. I have picked up extra hours, a second (seasonal) job, and all that jazz... so please don't get this twisted.

Ok. So now that it's cleared up... let me continue to slightly wallow.

I am at a fork in the road where I must decide if I should skip this summer for an adventure

or perhaps try traveling on my own.

There are plenty of terrific blogs out there about solo female travelers whose stories have left me feeling empowered and slightly curious if I would be able to do the same thing.

After all, I am a strong i-n-d-e-p-e-n-d-e-n-t woman

(had to sing the song in order to spell, just saying)

Then I remember that I am never the navigator in any group of friends that I've traveled with... so that may pose a slight problem.

So maybe solo traveling is not in the cards.

BUT then when have I ever let a tiny hiccup get me down?

... a few times, actually, but NOT THE POINT!

I am going to do a little research. Perhaps write a few more love letters. And come up with a plan.

Which you, dear reader, like it or not, will be privy to.

So buckle up . . . sometimes figuring things out can be half the fun :)
