Got a hefty fee but hey that&#8217;s international travel. Now it&#8217;s on to deciding where exactly I&#8217;m going within the next year. A few ideas on the table are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Paris since I haven&#8217;t been there for almost a decade and to visit Hannah<\/li>\n<li>Japan some time early next year because it is Japan but I would have to find <em>certain people<\/em> with whom to go<\/li>\n<li>London because I kind of have to go through there anyway since I have credit with British Airways?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Despite having canceled my JFK-TLV ticket, there&#8217;s still the whole JFK thing. I COULD just not go to JFK because missing work for even a day is enough to make up for the amount that I won&#8217;t be getting back, or I could decide about when to book a returning flight and spend something like a week in New York with family and Hannah and other friends. I think I deserve a vacation, anyway. Anyone around the area want to hang out some time after July 6?<br \/>\nI am also getting big repairs done on the car I&#8217;m currently driving &#8211; my late stepmom&#8217;s Jaguar X-Type. Gosh I don&#8217;t like driving it because it&#8217;s big and gets 19MPG but I gotta spruce it up to sell it &#8211; because I&#8217;m going to buy a Prius!<br \/>\nHeck yes I have put down a deposit for a Prius which will be arriving within 3-6 weeks. Looking to get the #2 package (which has cute things like keyless entry and aux audio input and a reverse camera), and looking to get it in a bright color, preferably white (for safety reasons &#8211; most visible on the road). Now for a dude, a white Prius isn&#8217;t especially a fashion statement. But heck I don&#8217;t care, I&#8217;d really rather get 45MPG instead of 19MPG (with premium fuel). Sure, almost every other car you see in Marin is a Prius. That&#8217;s a <em>good thing<\/em>.<br \/>\n&#8216;Sides that, I&#8217;m meeting cool new people and going cool new places. I&#8217;m probably sticking around in Marin for longer than I expected mostly because I like the job I&#8217;m at a whole lot. I&#8217;m making enough money that transportation shouldn&#8217;t be a barrier for me, in my mid-20&#8217;s, to be a social dude. And despite my plans to get a car, I&#8217;m looking to take the bus as much as possible as well. I took GG Transit into SF the other day and it worked like a charm. I also got to catch up on my video podcasts on the bus.<br \/>\nBack to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diabeteshealth.com\">work<\/a>.
