The relationship with Liz is getting akward, I need to get away.
Not sure which trip I'm going to take. I opened a new travel bank account today so if I wanted to go to Europe I'd already have a chip+pin compatible card ready to go.
I picked up some cash to pay Alfredo my awesome BMW mechanic. Alfredo has a daughter named Megan roughly the same age as Kim. I had always wanted to know Alfredo personally, he just seemed like a fun and great guy. I knew I'd most likely be selling my BMW in the near future for a truck and if we wanted to hang out this would possibly be our last chance.
We ended up going to "Ignite" and drinking quite a few shots of tequila, had some food, and then headed to a winery in the Cedros district of Del Mar. I met a man there who was attempting to join the travelers century club (http://travelerscenturyclub.org/). This man had travelled around the world and lived in 70 countries and still needed 30 before he would be allowed admission. To me this group seemed like the league of extraordinary gentleman, I thought was full of shit at first until he ripped out his passport. With my tail between my legs I resolved at that moment to someday join the century club.
This man (who's name I will not publish) was a Shadow Banker and had imported his porsche and raced it on the F1 track in Abu Dabi, he had run with the bulls in spain (and gave me some tips which might save my life someday), he was full of rich and colorful stories. He was one of several random strangers who would tell me in no uncertain terms that travel was the right choice.
