Upcoming travels
May 17, 2009 – 10:14 pmOkay. I lied. I said last week that I probably wouldn’t write another blog post until after June 13th. I’m wrong a lot.
Not that anyone really cares, but I just felt like mentioning some of my upcoming travels for the summer.
Boston: May 21 – 26
I’ll be working out of the Cambridge Google office for a day and then probably wandering aimlessly the rest of the time. I might have mentioned this a few times before, but Boston is by far my favorite U.S. city. In a perfect world I would be living there, working at Google and have my own personal robot butler. Alas, the world is not perfect.
I’m not exactly sure what I’ll be doing in Boston this year, but it most likely include an assortment of the activites listed below:
- Red Sox game(s)
- NCAA lacrosse championship tournament
- Consumption of Dunkin’ Donuts beverages and breakfast sandwiches
- Consumption of delicious foods
- Consumption of delicious beers
- Meeting up with friends
- Meeting up with my older brother
- Meeting new random people
- Wandering aimlessly
- Not checking my email
That’s probably a good list to work from.
San Diego: June 6 – 7
Southwest Airlines was having a one-day half-off sale a few weeks ago. I couldn’t resist a $70 roundtrip flight to a place that I’ve never visited before. I have no idea what I’ll be doing, but that’s fine with me. If you have any suggestions I’d love to hear them.
Syracuse, NY / Fulton, NY: July 1 -7
Central New York may not be the ideal getaway location, but it’s my old stomping ground. I wasn’t planning on being there for a whole week, but I had an award flight voucher from jetBlue and those were the only dates I could use it for around the July 4th weekend. I’ll do whatever it takes to save a few hundred bucks.
I’m really looking forward to it. The whole reason I’m making the trip is because my maternal grandparents are both turning 90 this year and the Irish side of my family has decided to celebrate. There’s no way in hell I’d miss it. My grandfather’s health has also hit some rocky times as of late. So I really want to capitalize on every opportunity I can get to travel home. It’s not easy living 3000 miles away.
