I have plans. With people even.

Thanks to everyone who voted in the where should J. go poll! This weekend I still hadn't decided what to do, especially since going through travelbrochures for inspiration mostly gets me foaming around the mouth because of all the ridiculous additions single travelers have to pay. I also got cranky because there is no guarantee whatsoever that I will end up in the kind of room I want, even if I'm picking the most expensive hotel out there. I swear it was so much easier when I was still backpacking and willing to stay where-ever as long as I could dump my luggage and had a roof over my head.
Aaaaaaanyway. I was bitching to my mom about this and then she offered to go with me.

Wow. That came out of nowhere. But I kind of liked the idea. I'm not easy company, so it's pretty brave of her to want to join me. With two people making arrangements through a travel agent is much easier. (The world is made for pairs) So, ehm, we booked already: four days to Istanbul. In a hotel. With a bath. Wahey!

Time to hit the bookstore and read up on the city, so we can plan where to go:)

My mom wasn't the only one who made a brave promise this week; Jelle is coming over for Valentine's weekend. We will wallow in celebrate our single-status by watching pulpy-movies. WIN!

Istanbul! So awesome! You have to take loads of pictures and shove them down my throat, cool?

(Damn it, why are you not closer? If this travel book store thing goes through, I'd be able to shower you with my expertise and shit!)

I totally will spam you with pics. Promise.

(Heh. I often think that) You will just have to shower me with twitters *g*

But if you have a date in Constantinople, she'll be waiting in Istanbul!

I'm trying not to be embarrassed about the lack of 'real' traveling and am looking forward to the luxury of a proper hotelroom:)

Also: look how I'm willing to spend time with people in the real world! I'm totally growing as a person:)

New York will always be New Amsterdam to me.

People just like it better that way.
