Travel: It's All the Same?

Up until this year, I essentially only went on vacation to a suburb in South Carolina twice a year. I had only been on a plane a handful of times: once to California, once to Hawaii and once to Florida. While the Hawaii trip sounds legit, it's relevant to note that I was in second grade. I remember the 12 hour plane ride more than the actual trip.

However, in this year alone, I have been afforded the opportunity to travel to San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles, Punta Cana, Indianapolis, plus a quick plane ride for personal reasons back up to Connecticut and then a long drive down to Charleston. Some have been work trips and some have been personal trips, but they've all been wonderful in their own way.

Since I never am on the West Coast, I decided to stay behind for two days. After shooting our last interview this morning, hitting up the San Diego Zoo, dining and shopping in the Gaslamp District and then finally checking into my hotel, my two days alone have officially begun.

I am anxiously excited for my two days of loneliness (wait, if you're excited to be alone, is that loneliness? I beg to differ.). Anyways, everyone's been asking me what I planned for myself this weekend. And you know what, the answer is pretty much nothing. However, I have set some goals, which I think is as close to plans as I'll end up having. In the hopes that making my goals public, I'll actually do them, here they are:
