My departure to America is taking more time than I would have liked, and it is all my own fault. I still don’t have any ticket which is in part caused because I still don’t know from where I will leave. The map is lying open on my table, but I’m to lazy to look it over and make some plans.

The good thing is that I’m in no hurry, because my future plans are still absent. The bad thing is that I’m slowly getting the feeling that I’m wasting my time here in Holland. I could be enjoying myself a lot more on the road. We’ll see, maybe I’m use this Sunday to think of some travel-route.

I did it! I started reading my Lonely Planet book. This, combined with advice from friends and ex colleagues resulted in a short list with places I would like to visit; San Fransisco, Las Vegas and a big park with lots of rocks. This morning I was chatting with Bar and it bettered my desire to get a nice planning/itinerary.

How exciting, just one more week and then I have planned my trip to the United States. Armed with a Lonely Planet book about the USA and a map by Michelin. Bad thing is I didn’t open and review the book and map yet.

I wanted to leave in July but a number of things came up.. a less then positive bluesnight (you learn from your mistakes, and I learned a lot), a cocktail event, the birthday of Bar combined with a BBQ and the half marathon in Leiden.
