Xenophilia

Well, the modern age has finally caught up with me and I’m creating my first blog. Unfortunately I’m sitting at home in sweatpants in Rockville, Maryland nursing my sick head back to wellness after a late winter cold nabbed me this weekend. I swear it wasn’t the countless pints I downed on St. Paddy’s Day. Anyhow, my forays into travel have been embarrassingly few and far between of late but hopefully next year things will change. In the meantime I can enjoy little trips here and there and share my quirky experiences with whoever might read this. I’m guessing that’s going to be me.

Next week I am going to San Diego for work, but after my corporate duties I shall be free as a bird to spend April Fool’s Day in the environs of San Diego. Having been there two times before, I don’t feel the need to explore the city, but as luck would have it my favorite band Alkaline Trio will be playing downtown that Saturday. Then when I roll myself out of my dorm bed at the Ocean Beach Hostel, I will manouver my rental car up the coast of California to visit my cousin in L.A. for a few days before flying back to DC for the rat race all over again. But I hope to have some fun adventures visiting area breweries, random coffee shops, strange neighborhoods and lost highways in my few days there. I’ll post it all when I return.

Happiest of Trails…or Trials, if that’s your lot.
