WOW... I've been lazy with this thing. Sorry? But then again, I don't think I have that many people that are on the edge of their seats waiting for another post. So, my original idea was to go to Egypt. This was driven by 1) It's Egypt 2) New democracy smell??? 3) Only country that is cheap to fly to AND allowed access into Israel. So the original idea is going to Cairo-> Jerusalem or Tel Aviv->Petra, Jordan. This doesn't seem likely anymore...
I'm not exactly a huge fan of mass protests, even though I would love to see it, it may not be safe. I say this mainly because there's a military involved, and it seems like they don't like protesters, nor are they too keen on stepping down. Now, after said military has disbanded parliament, and with a super close presidential election, anything can set this powder keg ablaze. The only reason I haven't fully ruled out Egypt is that there isn't a state department travelling warning. Then again, there was one for Zimbabwe and look how well I heeded that (take that Secretary Clinton!).
This leaves me now with a trip to Costa Rica (tentative) for new years. But I have LSATs in Oct, so you better believe I want to get the hell out and take a long vacation the day after this bloody test. I want the flight to be under $1000, that be great. So, recently war torn (Syria hahaha...NO!), bad economy (Ireland?, Spain?), or a tropical island that I can not give a fuck about anything. I also don't have that long, 10 days max, so I don't want to go to a place where I want to stay for long periods of time (Brazil). I haven't talk to many people about this, but I also can do Jerusalem, but considering there was just another rocket attack (granted from the Gaza Strip), not sure if THAT'S a good idea, but I need someone else to tell me that.
If only I can get to Prague or Budapest for cheap, that would be nice.... but for now my travel plans are fucked....
Gimme some suggestions folks!

Denmark. You can buy high flying fireworks for new years and the people are awesome and friendly. Also I am on the edge of my seat waiting for you to post.... when liz and I went, fireworks were still going off at 4am
ReplyDeleteHA! Aren't you supposed to be punching someone in the face or throwing them in the woods??? But Denmark is cold... Costa Rica in a beach house my friend's parents own seems much better...
