2005 is looking to be a very interesting one. Several opportunities are opening up for me to do some traveling next year. If I have the chance, I am going to take it. I was saving up for a new laptop, but I would much rather spend that money on travel if I can. Here is a tentative outlook on what might happen:
Taipei, Taiwan - No details worked out on this one yet, but highly probable. A friend says they are going back next year, and I might go visit for a short time too. I have always wanted to travel to asia, and if I have the chance I am going to take it and not let it slip away. Taipei is home to the world's tallest skyscraper. Here's a great picture of downtown:

Kingston, Jamaica - This one is a slim chance, but I may be able to make my 5th trip to Jamaica this year.
Chicago, Ill. - Very likely.
Boston, Ma - Possible, no details worked out yet.
Atlanta, Ga - Done deal.
Mobile, Al & Pensacola, Fl - Highly likely.
