It was one of those days you don't know whether to cry or scream. Work piled up in a mountain. Everyone wants everything immediately, sending negative energy of how stupid you are that you "just don't get it." It's hard to see past it when you are in the middle of it. I got home around 8pm and all I wanted was to crawl in bed and shut out the world. I was trying to work on Client G report for two weeks but kept getting interrupted and pulled into other urgent projects. I kept changing my status to Busy, Away or Offline but people found other ways to get a hold of me and break my concentration. Just wow.

I can't believe it's July 28th. My trip is getting closer and I have done zero planning for it. I hope it will take care of itself, like Southwest Roadtrips do, although this road trip involves a $677 flight. Then again, Hawaii is a $500 flight ($677 if you include an inter-island flight) so it's really not that big a deal. But it still feels like "a big deal" somehow because I'm going to another continent.

Europe. It has been a while since I have been to my birthplace, the place where I feel most at home. Actually I was there about two years ago in Frankfurt on my ten-hour layover on the way to India. But that doesn't really count. I enjoyed my rainy day walk around Frankfurt, but that's all it was. Too rainy to see or do anything. I think it was even Christmas, because everything was closed and deserted. Still, it was Europe and thus mine.

I am already thinking ahead beyond the upcoming trip. I see it as the first of many trips to Europe, another in 2017. Where would I want to go next? Well, Spain for example. That's another place well-suited to road trips, and so is Portugal. Andalusia. South of France. The Greek Archipelago. Places to wander, trips that are a continuous journey, never really "arriving" anywhere. Train trips through Russia... That may be more tricky but still doable. As An says, "I'm confident it will happen."
