The planning phase has begun


So I still have a few weeks until my 29th birthday, but I've already put together a few trips.

My mother and I will be driving from New Orleans, LA to Charleston, SC in late February. We'll stop along the way in Biloxi, MS, Montogomery, AL, Birmingham, AL, Atlanta, GA, Savannah, GA and Hilton Head, SC. It promises to be an interesting trip and I don't think the driving should be too bad since we are spacing it out over 9 days. The flights were fairly inexpensive and my mother was able to use her AMEX points to rent the car, so we just have to figure out hotels and what we want to see now.

I'm really glad we'll be going through Louisiana and Mississippi because I think it is really important for people to visit and contribute to the local economy.

I also booked flights and the hotel for Rachel's wedding in Hawaii in July. Boy did that hit the wallet hard! My boyfriend Nien will be coming along with me and we're making a vacation out of it as well, so I think it will be very worth it. Plus, Rachel is one of my oldest friends so there is no way I can miss her wedding. The picture above is Rachel and her fiance Terry on a previous trip to Hawaii.

So after all of those states, I'll only have 15 to go!
