Another Month After

It will be another “month after” youknowwhat by the 18th of this month, and I want to take this moment to say it’s been a great pleasure ride of new experiences. It’s a travelogue, right? So everything I observe has to be in line with the overall acceptance of the transience of every passing situation and the potential of every little event to illuminate, to entertain and to inform. Thinking back, I think the best decision I made was to keep the blog open after the first long travel experience. Sometimes when I go back into the blog archive, I myself get amazed at the kind of things I read from myself, things that I’ve forgotten that I wrote, but which bring back a sweet memory.

Overall, I find it interesting that everything in life can actually be situated in a travelogue frame, considering that we are all travellers in one way or the other. So that whether or not I move from where I am, the progress of life constitute a kind of parallel journey out of which to draw whatever strength needed to move on and about. Hopefully, it only gets better.

So any new observations about the United States so far? No, except that studies have threatened to totally drown my creativity and leisure space. Or am I growing too old? I’d better steal myself back before grey hairs sprout up to compete with those on the president’s head. Well, see you guys around. I just wanted to leave a few words. And please do keep coming back 😉

Two Plans

There are two plans, each of them going to different directions, with different planning processes, and a different destination. One of the good thing about being in the midwest is the ease of accessing much of everywhere else in the country. In this case, the ktravula radar has picked up signals all around and has developed a very familiar restless feet. This time though, it could be more fun, and who knows, more challenging than the last ones.

Without further ado, here is plan A: St. Louis to Arizona (site of the Grand Canyon, and then later to Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Francisco and everywhere else.) 23 and a half hours by road. Oooh.

The other option, of course, goes in the other direction, eastwards. For me it’s a less attractive option perhaps because I’ve been there more than once before. However, in this case, I am a minority. It would depend on the cooperation of fellow travellers to select a right site to go. In any case, here’s the other plan, 16 hours 32 minutes:

The “when” is uncertain, as is the “how”, “why” and “with whom”. The only thing certain is the desire, and an otherwise useless longing for new spaces :).
