Plans Are in the Making
SXSW Interactive festival pass is purchased! Or rather, the current status is “received by sxsw.” They give you 48 hours to book a hotel room through them before they finish processing your purchase, if I understand this correctly.
I’ve missed my 48 hours, but I wanted to see what I could turn up on my own or if anyone else happens to be going or what. Plus my friend that lives there offered me space to crash, too, if need be.
Award travel through Northwest appears to be plentiful (still, so far), so I’m not too worried about booking that immediately. Interactive starts on a Friday. I haven’t yet decided if I want to fly down Wednesday night and have all day Thursday to hang out, or if I just want to fly down on Thursday. I really really really wish Mel could come, but it’s sounding like things are a little too up in the air with her.
In other travel news, my mom and sis are not coming in a few weeks. They couldn’t really afford their tickets, and I could have but it would not have been comfortable. We decided maybe later in the year, with more advance planning. Frankly, I’m not sure either of them will be able to afford it more comfortably then, but I will with a little advance planning. And it gives me more time with my therapist to work up my nerve.
But then I’ve already got 3.5 vacations in various stages of planning (SXSW, BlogHer, hopefully something with The Boyz, and possibly a trip to Europe in the latter half of the year), so maybe not.

If you go to Europe, let me know, I want to plan a trip to somewhere other than England this year. If you’re up for company, that is.
