cabin fever.


i haven't been back in the country for even a week....yet...i have cabin fever. summer is coming. my 25th birthday is coming. and i. don't. have. a. ticket. booked! my original plan was to go to africa, but i don't think that is financially possible. but then when i check for tickets to europe--they're over a grand! even for flights out of ewr/jfk. it's insane. the cheapest place to fly into in europe is dublin [that's even over 800 and doesn't count the other tickets you have to buy on ryanair or air lingus. it's 1300 to get to casablanca in morocco...might as well just go there! there's always south america and the caribbean........butttttttttt, i've been to those areas so many times....

i haven't left this side of the pond in over 2 years! fortunately, i've gone to colombia 3 times, costa rica, jamaica, honduras...and jersey probably 6 times....in the past 2 years. i guesssssssss we could to central america...maybe nicaragua...ohhhhhh i dont know. the two places i want to go in south america--brazil and bolivia..are pretty pricey flights and require $150 visas. yuck. chile is another option. maybe suriname. i want to go somewhere french-speaking. i found tickets to toulouse, france for 900. canada is ehh..i wouldn't want to spend 3 weeks there. this is really how my brain works---i travel the world every day. mentally. i have 12 tabs open in this window...no joke...and another few in another window.

here's what i have open at the moment:
-a listing of local restaurants where i can earn delta skymiles
-delta deals from nyc
-a lonely planet post i wrote about the copan ruins
-lonely planet discussion boards: central america
-a kayak search for fll-toulouse
-a map of terceira island
-tap portugal airlines
-a map of europe
-my aunt's cooking blog
-my blog
-a thing about a scholarship
-my email
-facebook

i beleive that's it. and i've been sitting here for almost 3 hours....just...researching and searching. okay...im going to check out some info on suriname. wish me luck.
