The last line in my previous entry (About the weather in Amsterdam) was sneek peek on what I'm thinking about very soon!
Ya see, Semptember 27th is my birthday (All the libra out there, holla!), and more important than that, it's mt 30th Birthday. That's big, three decades on this planet and I have nothing to show for it. No accomplishments, no achivements, no highlights. I have to do something this year to remember this landmark moment in life. SO, I want to go somewhere...ANYwhere! See the world, europe, just something to remember. I just don't know what, or how.
My assignment at the UN DOES end in september (If we're on schedule). I could use this opportunity to save up and start a new life somewhere....but I'm so picky!
I don't want anyplace extremely hot, so Florida, Bahamas, and Mexico are out. I wanna go somewhere...weird, unusual. I just saw "Insomina" with Al Pacino, it took place in a area up in alaska where it's completly Sunny 6 months straight (Day and Night) and then completly Dark the following 6 months, I dunno, something about that has a certain appeal for me, I'm real curious to see how it would be to life up there for a year.
Amsterdam is also poping in my head, the people speak english, they're pretty much laid back over there (And there's the infamous red light district!)
New Zealand is a possibility, but I hear it takes forever to get there by plane.
I dunno, I'm just thinking about it for now, september is still a few months away...
I need some input on this...
The Big 3-0...who'd knew I'd make it THIS far?!?!?

I would sooo move to Alaska...I think. Maybe. I would love to be surrounded by the ocean and the mountains, but that whole light 6 months than dark for 6 months might screw with my body a bit too much.
New some chatters from before who were Kiwi's. Their weather was just like ours...hot cold, hot cold. *shrugs*
I'm thinkin of Portland in a few years..or NC after my kiddies are gone. I hate the snow....
