White whine exxxtreme

My apologies. Here's a meme.

Tonight, I take a break from trying to make the world a better place to complain about a serious first world problem. I have vacation time that I will lose if I don't take it by the end of the year. I could just take some days off an be lazy, or I could take a real life vacation. Obviously I would like to do the latter, but that, like, costs money and stuff. Not that I don't have plenty saved up for such an event, but I'm buying the new iPhone tomorrow. My problems are endless.

What does the vacation hesitation really boil down to? I will be traveling completely alone. It's a scary thought simply because I've never really liked being alone for extended periods of time. Hours is great, but a week or more? I know I should be thinking about all the advantages of striking out on your own. I can follow whatever whim takes me, but one of my favorite things in life is sharing great experiences with others.

Planes, trains, and automobiles all have their advantages. Do I want to take a road trip and have complete autonomy over where I find myself? A train would allow me to enjoy the journey a little more while being able to explore a couple choice destinations, but then I would have to spend more money getting around. Flying is a quick (scary) expensive trip that would result in the same as a train.

Oh god, who wants to read this crap? This is something straight out of my Livejournal days, only with slightly better writing and a more grown up problem. I'm stopping this now before either of my readers runs away in disgust.
