and so this is christmas

So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun

last year for christmas and new years, i went to turkey. the year before australia and new zealand. in 2005-2006 it was guatemala; in 2004-2005 it was tahoe. maybe i'll try to get 24 different timezones to start off the new years in the coming years -- it is starting to seem like that.

traveling around christmas is horrible. the prices are way way up. things have to get prebooked on the actual christmas and new years day shops and sights are never opened. so why do i do it?

this year, again. i've been 'asked' to take a break from from dec. 14th to jan 5th ish. for budgetary reasons. so if i'm not getting paid i might as well hit the road.

now, where to go...
