Denver… San Antonio… Denver… San Antonio… Denver… San Antonio

A few years ago, I decided I hadn't traveled enough. And I still haven't, but I'm working on it by making damn sure I see at least one new state and one new country per year.

September was supposed to be Paris, but vacation time, finances and new jobs got in the way. Now I have a big hole at the beginning of September where a vacation should be.

I was looking forward to Paris, but I really can't afford it, especially after dropping all that dough on South Africa early this year. So it's either Denver, where I'll be visiting K and Erika, or San Antonio to visit Fix and Mr. Fix.

There are pros and cons to each. Here they are:

Denver:

Pros:
Get to spend half my time with K and half my time with Erika, the former being a nonstop party the latter being chill
K wants to move back east and his lease is up at the end of September, making this my last chance to visit

Cons:
K and I have a history, which sometimes results in drunken drama
Next summer's Flamingo reunion may be in Denver
Erika is working on her PhD, and might be really freaking busy

San Antonio:

Pros:
Cowboys
Shopping with Fix
Cowboys
Mr. Fix's cooking
Cowboys
Chill

Cons:
Lots of fatties in Texas*
Might be too chill
Already spent eight days with them this year, 24/7, feel like I should spread myself around a little more
Would like to go when the mutual friends go, date TBD

So, if any of y'all could tell me anything spectacular or interesting to help me make up my mind, I'd be much obliged. Now, I'm going to go curl up with the cats and whine until my migraine, now entering it's fifth hour, goes away.

*Totally kidding.
