This week I learned that the software project I'm working on is late and that they won't need my time until January 10. The bad news is I could have been out of the country by now and had time to go somewhere from my List. (Plus I won't get paid and it's not a great week to find clients, so I'm feeling a little insecure.)
On the positive side, I've been contemplating all kinds of last-minute trips--Hawaii, Mexico, the desert. Still, I'm hesitating. Two nights ago, I found an amazing deal to Cancun and kept refreshing the web page until 2 a.m., but just couldn't get myself to click and buy it. I have booked a short trip down the coast after Christmas with a girlfriend; a few blissful days of drinking wine and lounging around. Maybe we'll see whales or elephant seals.
The hesitation is not like me: usually I leap at the chance to get on a plane to the unknown. But so far I'm resisting. In part because it's been so sunny and clear here--flamingo pink sunsets. I walked along the bay today, saw an egret, played with a dog at the beach.
Will I know when it's right? or do I need someone to push me off the cliff and tell me to buy that ticket before another great fare expires?
It's as if there's someone I'm supposed to meet and I just haven't figured out where I need to be to do it...

Okay, I'm going to the Yucatan! Just needed a little nudge.
OH Yucatan!
Never been there, but the name of the place alone sounds warm and sweet and exotic.

It was in Varanasi, in India, when a woman I met at the Ganges put this exact motion in words: "Sometimes on a journey, you meet someone, and it feels like: Ah this is where we finally meet, of all places."
Have a great time there~~
Don't worry, I'm sure I'll be posting. Mexico has great internet cafes.
All that Mayan power...it's changing my direction already.
