South East Asia?
My trip is fast approaching and I am still not prepared. I know, me procrastinating??? NO!!
I leave on the 7th for LA to spend a week with the folks. From there, I got to San Fran, then on to Asia. I have yet to pack, let alone decide what to take with me. Plus, I'm really, REALLY sick right now. I know what you are thinking. "Is it safe for you to travel while sick?" Well, I was asking myself that same question. With all the illnesses you can get from that part of the country anyway, I don't want to risk going with a weak immune system. So, I called my DR on Friday when I first started getting sick and she told me some stuff to do and said to call back Monday if I wasn't any better. Well, I'm not! It hurts to swallow, I'm all stuffy, I'm achey, and a have a bad cough.
Here's my delima. One the one hand, I would feel horrible about canceling the trip because my girl is depeneding on me. It's just me and her going, and she wouldn't be able to go alone if I pulled out. Plus, Tico keeps giving me soooo much shit about going that sometime I feel like even if I shouldn't, I want to go anyway just so he knows I won't cater to him or give in while he is bitching.
On the other hand, I am sick. What if I catch something over there because my immune system is weak? And of course, I would love to spend the holidays with Tico. Wouldn't you know that the first christmas/New Years in a long LONG time that I am with someone, I am going away!
About the trip itself, I have mixed feelings. I am excited to be going to all of these places, but I'm also a bit worried because I didn't do any of the planning and I dont' even know where we are staying. I love to travel, but I'm concerned about being 2 women alone in some of those countries. And I keep thinking about when I come back. I'll have to start thinking about what I want to do with my life. I mean, that really is the reason I took off and my excuse for the trip. When I come back I'll have to face reality...
So much going on in such a little amount of time. When I know something, so will you...

sounds like a big decision. go see the dr and ask his advice today and then make your decision based on that.
hope you feel better soon
I hope you feel better soon. I understand your reservations ... especially about traveling to the unknown without a clear itinerary. Be careful.
that's tough. your health and potential to pick up something is pretty important. hopefully you'll get well enough so you don't have to choose. and definitely don't change your plans because of Tico! This trip is not just deciding to 'hang' with the girls, or not ;-)
you told us not long ago, it seems, that you really desired to travel the world. you then took steps to make that dream a reality. please don't change it up now.
the decision about the direction of your life won't get solved if you cancel your trip.
if tico is suggesting that you cancel your trip so the two of you won't be apart then I think its a pretty selfish thing for him to do. he should be supporting you. you planned this trip before he came into the picture.
you said you'll on the west coast for a week before you head overseas. I think you have more than enough time to recover from whatever is ailing you. rest, relax and stop stressing and you'll feel better quicker.
If you are sick please go to the doctor before flying...again. Just to be sure.
