runaway

i need a vacation. i have been working 2 jobs since early october. i'm lucky if i get 1 day off a week. while it is a good thing because working 2 jobs allows me to live by myself and gain a sense of independence, it is also exhausting. i would love to take 3 or 4 days off and go somewhere by myself and do whatever i want. explore where ever i want. eat whatever, where ever and whenever i want. or not. just lay by the pool or on the beach for as long as i want and not worry about what someone else wants to do.

i'm going to CA for my birthday in may. i will be gone for several days. while nothing beats going home to see family and some of the best friends a girl could ask for, it is never a vacation. there are always so many people to see and places to go, i am moving non-stop.

i am not sure exactly when this solo vacation will take place, but i know where i wanna go. san luis obispo, CA. i went once many (many many) moons ago and i remember really liking it. i was reading a Destinations Weddings magazine at work today (i was bored and it was the only magazine i haven't read yet) and that was one of the destinations. my mind was made up right then and there.
