Sometimes I hate technology. I wrote this whole lovely post about traveling, and it included a map of all the states I've been to. But html sucks and I don't understand it and it didn't work and I got pissed and somehow lost the entire post.
Here's a half-assed version:
I eventually want to travel to all the states. Mostly just because that seems like a good goal for someone who enjoys traveling. However, I'm severly lacking in all things south and east. I need to stop visiting the states I've already visited and I need to stop going west for awhile.
I don't count a state unless I really feel like I've visited it, gotten to know it a little bit, gotten a little intimate with its nether parts. Driving through a state in the middle of the night while passed out in the back seat does not constitute a visit. Sitting in one of its airports for a few hours doesn't count either. Georgia does not count because I only saw it through the tinted windows of a crowded bus on the way to Disneyworld for a freshman year band trip. However, Nebraska does count because I've driven its entire length more than once when I was westward (and then eastward) bound. I'm a little too familiar with its vastness. Plus I think I ate at a Perkins in Omaha once.
My primary goal is to set my damn feet on European soil, but nobody seems to want to help me make that happen. And so far I've been too poor or too busy or too stupidly intimidated to do it myself. So in the meantime I'm plucking away at my homeland.
The point of all this is to say... roadtrip anyone?
Edit: I forgot to mention that I'm going to Wisconsin this weekend and Florida in a month. I've been to both before. So far, the plucking away is not working. But they are both cheap trips, I can't say no!

If you ever make it to Europe, take me with you! I've always wanted to go, yet Kevin has no interest. That nor a cruise. Both I desperately want to go.
