expectations
i don't know why i anticipate trips so much. i just end up getting homesick. got the rough guide to the pacific northwest and i have to say, i don't think canada is nearly as exciting as new zealand. it's also harder to get around, being bigger and all. but still, i'm looking forward to my trip in 4.5 weeks. it's still a trip, i still get to see friends, i still get the hell out of working. yippee!
