Everyone needs to take a small trip at least twice a year just to get the mind clear from what we do all week and that is work! Taking a small trip across town or around the world is fine just get out there explore and take the world by surprise and say I'm out and I'm going to have fun for once...

This year I have been to San Diego for my 30th Birthday which was a bad ass trip since I went to about 5 beaches and the last one was in Orange County which made me feel all poor, but I have my health right? SD was a lot of fun which is great just to get out from the same routine you do every year in Dallas for your birthday or wherever you live that a new place is always a good feeling. Take as many trips as you can afford even if it’s an hour away just for camping or just to fish and drink with friends.  I guess it was time for another trip that I just booked a trip to Vegas again with a couple of knuckle heads I call friends. It’s more of a guy trip than a get a way trip. I’ve been to Vegas before with another long time friend that we drove to Vegas from Dallas and that was a good 18 hour trip that I saw bones in New Mexico, The big Creator in Arizona, and then right before we got into Las Vegas that we drove thru the Hoover Dam a trip to keep in the books as a good one. I was laughing in my head when I was at the Hoover Dam that I had to do what Shia LaBeouf did and slap the inner wall of the Dam just for kick because I didn’t know when I’ll be back that this was my only time and it was funny. If you saw the movie you would know what I’m talking about that my boy Adolfo didn’t get it until he saw the movie the night we got back on cable. That he told his wife what I did and they both said I was dumb… So! It was funny to me and that is all that counts so MUH!

We all need some time apart from the everyday world we are use to that two days are just not enough. The only things we can do for the weekend is either go out late Friday night or just wait till Saturday to get out and have fun. Most of us are not willing to go out Friday because we had to work that day and are tired that we just want to kick back to rest our feet . Then Saturday rolls around everyone starts planning for what is popping that night just to find out there are better parties than the one you are at and the night is over. Sunday is a day to prepare you for the Monday that is lurking around the corner waiting to take your energy away just to make the day all groggy and long that you just hope the Sunday goes real slow and the night never comes.

It’s already July and I have only taken a few trips that I’m not complaining at least I took some but I wish I can just get up and go as far as I want whenever I want. I have o start saving for a trip around the world and it’s going to be an expensive trip that I hope I can afford to go at least before I kick the bucket. I guess small trips will do just fine on my salary I just have to keep a budget for trips and plan ahead on anything I spend just to have a wall map filled with push pins showing my destinations in my life time. The older I get the father the trips will be from wherever I live during my young never aging years. In order to take more trips I have to start putting aside 40 bucks a week which doesn’t sound like much but hey who said I’m rich? I have to start always from the bottom just to get to the top how else would I learn to keep my mind from thinking money grows on trees. The harder you work for the money you earn the better the vacation satisfaction will be knowing you paid for it all with hard work and maybe some tears for those Mondays that keep on lurking for you.

This is the reason I travel is so that one day I will bump into her and say hi and take a picture!

Later and take more trips
