Traveling

So I need to do more traveling. And yes, I did not say that wrong - need.

It's something my family did a lot growing up since my day was in the Army. Half of my life I spent moving from place to place until we came to Alaska. It's probably why I spent the other half of my life stationary, going to school and starting my career in a familiar setting. Anchorage has its ups and downs like any other place, but after every trip I go on, I realize that I don't do enough traveling.

The pros outnumber the cons; period.
Pros: Exploring, meeting new people, getting out of your comfort zone, doing exciting things  - creating experiences.
Cons: Expensive, puts work on pause, expensive...

I started looking at luggage, immediately after my August trip to NYC. A backwards approach to traveling. Sort of like buying a helmet before a bike. As of I get one thing, then I'll have to get the other thing, so that I can actually use both things...something like that.

So I plan to cut back on small things and save up for new experiences and it's something I want to do every year. Where I'll go next? I don't know. But I do know that I'm done with excuses for not getting out.
