We picked a travel agent yesterday. I guess sometimes DIY is not the best plan. I guess the truth is that Rachel and I love to go on trips, but our favorite ones were planned by friends. We just don’t love planning them. So we found Sam. She’s done this before. A few times. Different every time. And people liked her. Hopefully, we will too.
We still have to decide whether to travel east or west. Rachel leans towards a soft start in Australia. I’ve got to say, that sounds pleasant and easy. There’s something to that. So maybe that’s our new plan.
So many decisions to make. I spent days planning Iceland, and it seems we may just cancel it all. Sigh. I have “Northwest vacation” on my calendar dar every day now but I’m here at home thinking of the future. The death ride is in 6 days and I have not ridden in 5. I have to get off my bum and get in shape! At least I dressed for it. Just gotta get out of here and do some riding now.
At least last night was fun. Impromptu trip to see a soccer game. Galaxy played the earthquakes at the Stanford stadium and quakes won it in the 94th minute, which was amazing. Tess and Tricia came to sit with us for a while. We went with Mark and Sonia and kids. They sat near us, not too close. But close enough to all feel a part of the crazy cheering fan section next to us that never stopped hooting and dancing for the entire game.
A nice cherry on top was the never ending fireworks show after the game. It even topped the halftime show, which was pretty cool. A couple pictures to jog the memory…
