Following My Bugs

Two lil bugs have bitten me.
They know who they are , the naughty lil things.
Ones your typical travel bug.
The other one has left a tingly , buzzy sensation that compels me to seek out the source....where it'll probably bite me even harder. And obviously I wont be too disappointed by that ...... *wink*

Called up the Flight Centre today. I need to know where to start as far as travel plans are concerned.
I want to roadtrip the States ( as ya probably have ascertained from previous entries ).
Members of the The Photo Forum are all meeting up at the Joshua Tree in March and I want to make it to that. Reallllllllllly wanna make it to that , in fact. Also am ACHING to get back to New Orleans. So I'm thinkin.... New Orleans , Joshua Tree ( Cali ) , San Fransisco .... then onto Toronto ... to work for a year ( IF I get my work visa *fingers crossed *).Probably do more travelling of the U.S during my time in Canada.
Travel agent advised me to get a 'round the world' ticket. With it I can travel to five ( I think ) different places and then back home. It runs for a year. Price at the minute for one of those is gonna set me back $ 2,400. Not bad......
Considering its a minimum of $ 3,000 just for a return ticket to Canada at the mo.
My friend Scott tonight asked if I expected my job to be here when I got back from travelling .... to which I replied " Probably not and good ..... coz darl I'm rotting in that job .... I truly am....."
He's in the same boat ( with the desire to get out of his mind-numbing job and travel )... so all he did was nod to say he knew exactly what I am talkin about.
So we made a pinky promise to travel , have adventures and not return to our respective jobs.
