the itch

it has been over three years since i last got my passport stamped...and more than a year since i've been on an airplane.  and 2012 kept me confined within a mere four states.  even worse, i have only increased the length of my wishlist of places to see...sadly, i have not placed any new checkmarks on that list in the past couple years.

don't get me wrong, it isn't like i haven't gone anywhere or done anything lately; looking back over the past year, i've been to the beach, to the mountains (multiple times), and to several places in between.  i've reconnected with a few old friends, and i've met some awesome new people.  but i suffer from a chronic case of wanderlust.  and the symptoms have been increasing as of late.
 
so yes, i clearly need to go somewhere new and unfamiliar in 2013.

although i have numerous european and pacific destinations on my list, i sort of want to stick to north america this time around.  san francisco would be awesome...especially if royal crown revue ever happens to perform again.  and i'm led to believe that there is some exceedingly tasty food to be found there.  not to mention the opportunity to drive through big sur country. 

another alternative i'm considering is vancouver.  in hindsight, i absolutely should have gone to the winter olympics there; even now, i'm kicking myself for not thinking about it beforehand.  but i understand that it's a fun place with some scenic drives of its own.

decisions, decisions...
