Drought

So, I just changed the trip calendar under the blog title. This blog is almost a year old now, and in all that time, there's never been a time where I haven't had a trip on tap in the next couple months. When I changed the Up Next line, I realized that I don't have a clear idea what my next trip is going to be. Gavin and I have been talking about Hawaii this year for a while, but due to shuttle flights starting up again, I don't know when I can leave town for a week. We're pretty sure that we're going to the Seattle area for some camping/hiking sometime in August or September, but I can't commit because of the flight schedule. I also want to go to Wyoming to visit Caroline (and everyone else) sometime soon, but I don't know when I can go. So I had to put a ? on the Up Next line. That is freaking me out. I have been out of town at least once a month since last June. That was starting to feel normal. That is making a 5 month period with no definate plans seem very, very long.
