First things first

So Travis demands a new title and what Travis wants, Travis gets.

Well, in reality, I got a sudden urge to start this and knew that if I waited until I had a title, I’d sooner be menopausal than a blogger. This is a title intended to be ditched, so help a sister out.

Since the only people checking in on this at this point are BootsnAll travel geeks, I figured I’d pose the question to you: What should the title of the blog be? You already know my penchant for travel and have been exposed to my personality and babblings.

My only request is that we leave out any reference to dancing, journeys, or my boobs and please no contrived alliteration. Cracker can’t quite consent to contriving.

Suggestions?

In the beginning…

Following such a fabulous weekend of meeting, hanging out partying with the BootsnAll crowd, I’m reminded of the pressing matter of me fleeing the country this year. Hanging with my fellow travel geeks is such great motivation and inspiration.

So I begin the blog here at the very beginning. A trip never starts with a flight. It starts with much forethought and planning and here I can vent my frustrations, fears, and shopping lists as I navigate my way through the planning process.

I start with a $0 budget, a few credits left before I have a university degree and a hangover. I’m hoping to have a job oversees, a few thousand dollars in the bank and all of my belongings packed into a smallish pack within the next 9 months.

On your mark.

Get set.

Go!!!
