Flying Solo

There's something fascinating about traveling by yourself. With everything these days revolving around technology and sitting behind a computer screen talking to someone halfway around the world; it's really easy to be content with that. Studies show that the younger generation lacks everyday social skills and since a lot of my job is based sitting on a computer, I slowly find myself falling into that category. So it's exhilarating to get out there and see the world first hand. There's also something freeing about leaving your comfort zone of your own vehicle and having to rely on on someone else for transportation (ie. planes, trains, cabs, subways...). I practically live in my car, between driving back and forth to school and meeting clients all over the state; I am completely comfortable in my car. I can eat, sleep, and go places in my car; so leaving it behind and leaving my fate up to someone else (despite prior planning) is completely out of my comfort zone. It makes me uneasy and excited all at the same time. I love traveling anywhere and everywhere. I want to see the world, eventually visiting every continent...well maybe not Antarctica, it's too cold for me :) I want to see mountains and oceans and wide opens plains. I want to photograph the wonders of the world. I am hoping to travel at least twice a year to somewhere new. Last year I didn't get a chance to go anywhere, but this year I was able to travel quite a bit. And I'll be leaving in 8 hours on my way to Denver, Colorado. I never thought I'd be going there...as a matter of fact I had VOWED never to go there because of their ban on pit bulls. It was my way of protesting their ban and not giving the city any of my business. But since Hawaii got cancelled and one of my friend's moved out there in May and has been wanting me to come visit, I broke my vow and now I'm going. I will be bringing my Hello Bully t-shirt that says "Pit bulls are for Lovers" and will be wearing it proudly. So I will still be spreading pitty love <3

Bedtime...I will see all of you tomorrow...in Denver!!
