they say that travel broadens the mind

I need to leave the country.

Not as in, to avoid the law. But. I have actually never left the US, and the only thing my coach has ever told me to do is add "leave country" to my list of personal goals for the next year.

So. Where should I go?

[NOTE: You may choose to accept or ignore the constraints that I can't afford an expensive or time-consuming trip next year since I'll also be doing my last urban family Hilo visit before my peeps come back to the continent for awhile.]

i signed up for your text message for this?

Please give me a reason to be excited about an Obama-Biden ticket.

Cause it kinda sounds like "Obama for change! ...that looks astoundingly like the status quo!" - and while that makes a clever t-shirt, it doesn't get me jazzed about the campaign.
