how soon?

today i learned that my asia trip has suddenly expanded to include taiwan and korea. which means that i suddenly am leaving next monday (flying to seoul, then taiwan, then shanghai via hong kong, then tokyo, then hawaii). oh, great. yeah, of course i’m ready. sure… not that i haven’t quite finished unpacking from the playa a few weeks ago or anything.

this ensures that i can’t tell my rents about the asia trip, as they’d kill me if i went all the way to taiwan and didn’t stop to see any of my relatives, seeing as i haven’t been back there for about 14 years.

this also conveniently puts a lot of things into question: do i really go to the fp campout this weekend if i’m leaving for a two week trip the day after i’d get back? is hmc going to be able to make it to hawaii? how am i supposed to pack for both a business trip and a beach resort vacation? will i be able to resist shouting “TAIWAN IS BETTER!!” while in china?

if i never make it out, i guess you’ll know.
