You know those choose your own adventure books? There are days when my life feels like that. My plans only go so far into the future and then I hit the page where I have to decide whether I'm going to walk over the gorge on a tightrope or go rafting down it. But what do you do when both options are awesome and you don't have any parameters limiting which one you pick? You ask random people on the internet, that's what you do. (Or the not-so-random people who visit this blog. Hello, not-so-random readers!)
So what should I do with my life? Choose my adventure! Tell me who I should be when I grow up! Or just tell me what you think I should do this fall. Do I:
A) Hole up somewhere (like Alaska! or Florida! or somewhere else!) in a hermitage and write my fingers to the bone. (Pros: Productivity & Frugality. Look how responsible I am! Cons: Potential of going stir crazy since I start to twitch if I don't stamp my passport at regular intervals.)
B) Take a cruise from Alaska to Beijing, meet up with my buddy in China and do some more Asian travel whilst (whilst! best word ever!) my buddy in China is still living in China. (Pros: Asia! Whilst my friend is still in Asia. Cons: Somewhat less on the productivity and frugality.)
C) Fly to Europe and meet up with my parents for a transatlantic cruise. (Pros: I haven't been on a cruise with my parents in ages! How fun would that be? And Europe! Yay! And transatlantic cruises are hellagood deals. Cons: I have just been to Europe and the productivity would be less awesome.)
D) Go to South America and see Machu Pichu, Chile, various jungles and mountains and Amazonian basins. (Pros: I've never been to South America! Wheeeee! Cons: Not so much with the frugal and productive...)
E) Something else! Do I wait for some heretofore unconsidered option of awesomeness to appear before me?
Which adventure should I choose, boys and girls?

Because I am a selfish person I vote for Hole Up In Alaska And Write Your Fingers To the Bone.
I'm torn. Obviously, all are amazing! I'm not sure you could go wrong. The transatlantic cruise will mostly be you on the water. Interesting, but you'd have to love cruising.
I think I'd vote for South America.
Great choices, Vivi! I can't wait to hear which one you pick. I bet your parents would love it if you went on the cruise with them...
So we have one vote for Alaska, one for South America and one (sorta) for the Transatlantic... hmmm... decisions decisions.
