I have been quiet lately

But here are a few things that are going on as the year winds down:

I leave tomorrow on a little adventure. Taking the Amtrak from San Diego to NYC. The trip will entail 3 Amtrak trains, and 4 different public transportation systems. The city bus from my house to the San Diego Amtrak Station (Santa Fe Depot). From there to LA, then on to Chicago. Then to NYC (Penn Station). From there I hope the Subway to Grand Central, where I need to then buy a ticket on the Metro North to get to Stratford, CT, where my mom will pick me up. It's a shame I can get to my mom's house via public transportation, as that would be quite a feat if I could go public transit door to door.

Everyone at my company got an IPod Touch from our boss. I am in love with it. Also, I got a nice little bonus, as well as a raise. I am making way more money than I need and the more I make the harder it will be to eventually make my escape from the corporate world. However, I am keeping my life simple so I am quickly accumulating a nice little cash reserve. I have also become satisfied for the moment with my job and my situation. Don't worry too much, I still hate that I spend my life in a cubicle.

I am trying to plan a few trips for next year. I would like to do a volunteer vacation, probably in Central or South America. I am looking into my options. I would also like to do a 1 or 2 week trip "for fun" to somewhere that I would need my passport. I have 4 weeks PTO next year, so both should be doable.

That's it for now. Gotta crank out my last day of work. Tomorrow I begin my adventure.
