Obsessive Mode: ON
It's 2005. We had an amazing NYE, and a deliciously lazy Saturday. Today it's time to get serious (which for me means getting at least semi-obsessed) about travel. Do we start in
Thailand after all? Which countries need visas? Which countries need vaccinations? How many travel books can I read between now and the time we leave, while still putting in billable hours and hitting the gym?
The Best Shrink In San Francisco™ recommends the
UCSF Travel Clinic for shots. We have to go there after we finalize our destination list. We need to make that list of countries (or at least airports) soon. We need the list for shots, and for those
Round the World Tickets.
Video camera's been researched and purchased. Panasonic "prosumer" mini; the PV-GS200. About half the cost of its competitors. (If you're shopping: don't believe the absurldly high MSRP, but do research the store's rep before you buy online. Lotta crooks are doing great business lowballing people on
Froogle. Then you find out you have to pay for "extras" like a power cord or battery.)
Books: This weekend I read the thoroughly engaging
Holy Cow, and the pretty-good
No Touch Monkey!. Next up is
Video Night in Kathmandu.
We got a small stack of Europe-centric books from my family for Christmas, but I'm very Asia-focused right now. I even started a tacky
Amazon.com Wishlist to keep track of wanna-reads.
