Travel soon

Organizing a lengthy vacation is a peculiar mix of being excited, being stupidly anxious, "hey that was easier than I thought", "fuck something went wrong here now what do I do", and in my case a stupid lack of sleep and regular food. I decided not to visit Vancouver after all and immediately felt relieved because that means less to organize. A little over three weeks mostly in NYC, it'll be fun. I just wish I was done with all the preparation, or that my brain would find it easier. LB is out of the country, that makes it harder to calm down, he's almost the only one I feel comfortable calling when I'm frustrated and feel helpless and embarrassed about what my brain does.
Ah well, it'll be worth it.

As much as I adore Vancouver (it's the closest major city to where I grew up, although my hometown is about 450km norteast of it), it's definitely not easy to tack a trip there onto a trip to the US East Coast! The closest thing I've ever had to a direct flight to Vancouver from Boston is a direct flight to Seattle from Boston, which is only about half an hour shorter than a direct flight from Boston to London (it usually takes me three flights including a connection through Vancouver to get home, which is one more flight and usually several more hours than it takes me to get to Paris via Toronto or Montreal). Hopefully you'll get to visit one day, but in the meantime I hope you have an awesome time in NYC!

I found out that the relative I wanted to visit in Vancouver is coming to Europe next summer, that made the decision easier. It'll be a lot easier to meet her anywhere in Europe!
Thanks, I'm sure I will :)

Yay, travel! It sounds like you've got the plan you need: explore NYC! And New Jersey! And DC! And then you can do daytrips and long walks and go to the Wed & Sat matinee #Ham4Ham shows outside the Richard Roger's. ♥ Sounds like an awesome trip.

It's nice to know I'll have enough time to spend an entire day walking around Central Park without feeling like I'm running out of time to look at other stuff :)
