So many places, so little money

BFF Kristina and I are planning a vacation to China in March and it happens to fall on my birthday. I have not been in the city that I live in on my birthday in 10 years. I do this on purpose. It is going to be a tour which usually isn't my style but I thought I'd give it a try this time. Highlights of the tour include:

* Beijing
* Great Wall
* Forbidden City
* Xian
* Terracotta Warriors
* Shanghai

I haven't been out of the country in over a year (gasp!) so I'm incredibly excited. This is also the first time I've ever planned a trip more than a month away. Spontaneous? Just a little bit. Other planned trips include:

LA for the weekend this fall to visit an old friend and hopefully San Jose/San Fran and Boston. My favorite cities! Not including NYC of course. I'm afraid the days of never being in the same place for more than a month have almost come to an end. Maybe that's a good thing. I haven't decided yet or given up hope to live in all place at all times. Still waiting on some physicists to work that one out for me. Maybe 2008?

Omg, its not just me. I would always get the heck outta town on my birthday. Though nothing on the scale that you're doing. China will be amazing, cant wait to hear what the political climate is like over there.

Although I've never cared to travel to Asia (I don't know why - it's just never appealed to me), I think it's great to take a trans-continental trip at least once a year. Great blog!

Travelling on your birthday is the most fabulous way to spend it! Espeically if you are with a good friend.
