I need a vacation badly. I've gone on trips in the last five years, but visiting family isn't what I'd call a relaxing time. I need to just pack my bags and take a three day weekend and go somewhere I've never been. I think I'm going to get my second car sold and use a little money to do just that. I'm thinking most likely LA. I've never been and was actually planning to go fall before last, but I canceled because my flake of an ex made up some story about how she had to go to Vegas that weekend and wouldn't be in town. And while that was my main motivation for the trip I was also wanting to meet all the SG kids down that direction.

And I think it would be a good step in my anxiety treatment to take a trip like that by myself. New people and new places all together would make for a good test in regards to my progress. Frankly a notion like this in the past was way beyond my comfort level; something I'd never be able to do. But things are different for me now and I want such a challenge rather than wanting to avoid it.

Hopefully I'll be able to scrape together the funds and find some folks who might be interested in showing me the sights. It's all just an idea for now though. We'll see.
