Seriously! It seems like writing about these intentions jinxes them.
I didn't go to Montreal this fall (though Mom and I did go to Newport, OR for a few nights and then into Willamette wine country), and there's no way I'm going to be able to afford New Zealand this year, no matter how much I want to go.
So I'm giving up. Not on making travel plans, but on announcing them. I'll write about it once I've gone and come back, but not before.
Which reminds me, I actually do have a story about the trip to the coast. Will have to post that soon...
