I just got back home from my vacation. I had to be up at 2:30 this morning to catch a bus to Montego Bay from Negril, and after a long layover in Miami I’m home, but pretty much exhausted. Anyway, I’ll be back to regular posting soon. Expect many beach pictures to follow shortly!

I need to stop watching documentaries! The more documentaries and travel shows I watch, the more destinations I have to add to my travel wish list. It’s getting a little ridiculous.

I just finished watching Rick Steves’ Iran special (you can find it on Hulu for free here), and I thought “wow, I would really like to go there”. I have always had an interest in Iranian history and Persian culture, but watching this show really gave me a desire to go there and experience it firsthand. As he points out, Iran is not nearly as dangerous and anti-western as it is often portrayed in the media, and I would jump at any chance to challenge my worldview through travel.

The problem though is that I’m just a college student barely making minimum wage. Until I have a real income I can hardly afford to take off across the world on some crazy adventure. I guess until then I’ll keep watching travel specials, reading, and expanding my list.
