New goals…

I’ve been feeling in a rut lately, and it has everything to do with the fact that I have a lot of time on my hands and waste it watching TV. And not even good TV…reruns from a decade ago. I caught myself watching America’s Next Top Model Season 10! Not good…

There are a ton of things I could be doing that I’m not. So, I want to change that.

One of the things I really want to do, however, is a bit trickier since I only have access to a car one day a week and I usually don’t do it alone…hiking.

I would love to go up to New Hampshire and get above tree line. It is one of my favorite places to be. However, I can’t get there by bus 😦

Since my new work year starts on October 1st, I figure that I will also start my new year that day. Time for some changes.

 

Summer Plans

I enjoy planning trips very far in advance…gives me something to look forward to.

At the moment, we are going to Ireland in the spring sometime and then, its onto our regular mountain climbing days. The mountains we plan to summit this year are:

1. Tom
2. Field
3. Willey
4. Hale
5. Waumbek
6. Whiteface
7. Mossilauke

Also in the works are trips to the Cape, a trip to Boston Light, Saint Gaudens and Marsh Billings, the paper house in Ipswich. Who knows what else. I have 2 days off next week so I might just go somehwere then so I can get some of this travel bug out of me!

New York!

Tomorrow, I brave my first bus to New York. We did not book Fung Wah, but rather the Bolt Bus and hopefully it will be better than not. At least our hotel is close to the drop off point so we won’t have to worry about that too much.

Plans include:
Going to the Museum of Natural History
Going to see a taping of the Daily Show
Going to FAO Schwarz to look at the Muppet Factory
Walking through Central Park

We did also get tickets to the Colbert Report for June, so that will be our next trip. That one, though, might just be a quick in and out. Not sure yet.
