A year of adventures

I’ve saved money, I’ve given notice at work, my sister will be in my house to hold down the home front, I’ve been building up my miles accounts for years, and I’ve started committing to a lot of travel plans in the next few months. What else do I need to think about? Yep - technology. Staying in touch:  looks like I can buy data plans that will work for my iPhone in all the countries I’m planning to hit so far. Switching to some other plan like Google fi might make more fiscal sense but it’s only in beta for the iPhone and I just don’t want to mess with connectivity. I’d rather throw some money at it and keep it otherwise simple. Also open to having a burner phone or swapping out my SIM card. I have an iPhone SE 2020 and intend to stick with it - sure, the newer cameras are even better, but what it has is really very good.  I have an iPad I can bring with me - I don’t tend to watch a lot of videos or shows, but … I might want to?  I gave away my kindle and haven’t decided if I want to

Hey look! My car hit 100,000 miles and I was even able to safely capture the moment. I was on my way home from a (partly rainy, semi chilly, yet fun) camping trip. It’s gorgeous in Eastern Oregon and I got my second paddle of the year in. Not a bad way to wrap up May! 

My work life break starts in a few weeks but I took a Friday off - partly because I have PTO I can't cash out, and partly because I have a lot of stuff to do! So far I've spent the day finishing a book, doing a little laundry, and poking around at flights for possible adventures in Feb. But now I'm gonna clean out my fridge and then see if I can consolidate some stuff in my tv room, so I can get rid of furniture/clear space for my sister. Oh! And I hung a couple of pictures that have been sitting in a corner for 9 years. Can I brag about that though, or should I just be embarrassed?
