I need to stop waking up at 2am. And if I’m going to wake up at 2am, I should consider doing something other than spending 3 hours agonizing over travel itineraries and scenarios. Some decisions have been made at least. Osaka tonight. Kobe tomorrow night (most likely). Kuta in Bali on Thursday. And then…maybe I’ll stay there and surf or head to Ubud and the Gili Islands, which are less run down by tourists.

Ya think this could have taken me less than 2.5 hours? The marketers/data scientists at Delta and SPG must either be very confused or maybe there’s a whole persona around indecisive people like myself.

Over the past month, I’ve booked at canceled trips to San Francisco, LA, Buenos Aires, South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, and Bali. Imagine many combinations of dates and airport scenarios mixed in with Google weather searches. It’s been bad.

But! It’s also been good. The actual travel part has been filled with long walks, anti-FOMO, serendipity, and some good ass food.
