deciding where to go on vacation isn't easy. india is off the list, as well as all other countries where a visa is needed. but there are SO many countries where you don't need a visa... i'm bad at choosing between things! we talked about this at work the other day, and decided it would be great if there were always just two things to choose between. no choice at all would be boring, and too many are just confusing and difficult. but two... that would be great. you wouldn't have to spend days and nights wondering what to choose (and afterwards if you did the right choice) and you wouldn't have to feel that you didn't even have a choice.

i don't really expect too much of this trip. i just want to take it easy and see day light for a few days. today i could see some kind of light far behind the thick layer of clouds in the sky. that reminded me there actually is a sun somewhere up there... i miss it so much it hurts!  ¶ 10:00 PM
