Procrastination, squared

[beetiger]

I'm procrastinating about job hunting, by planning potential procrastination about getting a job. I'm thinking about how I might want to do the Great American Roadtrip after the job ends, if I can't collect a single traveling companion for the whole time. I wouldn't want to drive it alone.

I've looked into it, and for $400, I could get a thirty day Greyhound pass for the US and Canada. For $675, I could get a 30-day Amtrak pass for the US and Canada, although for that one, I need to make sure I actually go to Canada sometime on the trip. I think it's something about only being able to sell that kind of fare to international travelers.

And I *think* I know some folks who don't live on the coasts! I'm imagining a week down the east coast, a week across the southern half of the country, a week up the west coast, and a week across the northern part of the country, with a stop in Canada, with the details decided by a balance of reasonable itineraries and desired visits.

Of course, I'd need to figure in the cost of the laptop with the wireless modem, and the nice digital cam, so I can write while I'm traveling.

On the other hand, I could skip this and just get a job right away, or stay home and fail to get a job and whine about it.

Do that, and you'll make a big circle around me (sitting not-quite-as-smack-in-the-middle as I used to, but damn close, even now...)
