It's reached that time of year again. Ellen is becoming antsy, stressed, and needs to deal with it the only way she knows how: by abandoning all her responsibilities and dumping all her obligations with little to no warning to go jetsying off into the unknown. It's what we like to refer to as a "best practice " in the working world.
About the Trip
I'm so excited! For the next 11 days I get to hit two exciting places: Jordan, a major world producer of yummy dates...
..preceded by Italy, also a notable producer of yummy dates.
Naturally, this makes them a commonly paired destination package, I'm told.
Thanks to the ingenuity and generosity of early-birthday-present-providing Mr. Boo Thang--who despite the misleading nickname is neither a ghost nor Asian--I will be flying out Saturday to join said gentleman in Rome: the city of art, architecture, and cigarettes. From there, we will depart on a whim-dictated adventure to scout out the finest wines, the most delicious foods, and naturally, a location for my future castle.
(Ball's in your court, buddy)
Assuming we don't get wrapped up in a migrant smuggling ring or discover a long lost love for the Sicilian lifestyle, we then head to Amman, initiating what is perhaps the most imperative part of this trip: checking Ellen's fifth World Wonder off her list.
(*Sightseeing* list. Jesus, people, what other kind of list could I've meant?)
After all, what's life if not an opportunity to self-validate through an arbitrary list of must-do's?
Feel free to follow along with our adventure, suggest activities, and share with others! Or even just feel free to click the site's link periodically - from a readership stats perspective I won't be able to tell the difference :P
Onward, good friends!
