I just found out on Sunday that one of my best friends is taking off to travel the world for an entire year. First Austin left for South America for about six months in between quitting his corporate IT gig and the start of law school. Now, my buddy Glenna is off, first to Australia.
She sent me a short email saying that she'd be leaving from JFK on September 20th, a one way ticket. I spoke to her beifly yesterday about the trip. She said she was going to travel through Australia and New Zeland and then make her way through South East Asia, Thailand for Christmas for sure. Other than that, it's pretty open ended.
I'm rediculously happy for her. She's been planning this trip for ages now. She originally planned this several years ago. She's been saving forever. I wish I had that kind of discipline. I don't think I could save that much for that long. It's not like she's been making tons of money either. I don't know how she did it, but I'm proud and happy for her.
It's gonna be weird not being able to press a couple of buttons and talk to her whenever I feel like it or take a ride down to D.C. to crash on her couch. But I look forward to all the postcards.
