Riding a Bike...

I haven't ridden a bike in 10 years.

I really hope the expression rings true, because I am going to be doing so in the near future.  EEEEK.

Travel

So, I don't travel much.  I usually have an annual trip to STL, if that counts, but otherwise, most of my friends live in the Chicagoland area.  I didn't travel much growing up and I'd hoped to overcome that.  However, with the exception of a Panama City Beach trip back in college (please don't judge, everyone was doing it).

I've tried to figure why I don't travel much in adulthood.  A small part of me thought it was because my friends don't live in other parts of the country, but then again, most people, when they travel, aren't SOLELY visiting people.

Anyhow, then it hit me.  Of all my friends in adulthood, whenever they have traveled and haven't been solely visiting someone - they were traveling with their romantic partner.  Le sigh.  I get it.  This is why I haven't traveled.

Anyhow.  It seems as though there are very few 'girls' trips' since college.  It's probably one part money, another part time off work, a third part time with said significant other.  It's rare that I have girlfriends around who are free and up for doing a girls' tirp.  Well, somehow, the stars have aligned perfectly for me.   I am going to Miami this February!  BEACH TIME.  I am flying Southwest for the first time.  Update and tons of pictures to come.

I Don't Believe in Love at First Sight....

...but last night, it happened to me.  Yes, a cynic like me.

Dowding.

Great work, Tricia!!
