♦04Jul10 We're standing on ghosts.

This year, our family trip is to New York, Boston, and Canada. We were close to not going anywhere this year 'cause of my mom recently being laid off, but we're going anyways. I'm okay about it. Not overly excited or anything. I think it's because we go places so often that I begin to take it for granted. I know I should consider myself lucky for being able to travel and all. It's just that we go every year, and TBH I would much rather wait a couple of years without going anywhere before we went on another vacation. Kinda like depriving myself in a way. You know, like the feeling of finally getting something that you haven't had in a long time. I kinda want that with my family vacations =\ 

I also find it weird that my parents have yet to plan a trip back to Vietnam. Let's see, I've been to Mexico, Japan, and China, but never to my home country. Idk what it is, I just remember my parents saying we'd go once my brother gets older. Now, he's 13 and almost as tall as me. Dunno how much older they want him to get. I know Vietnam may not be as extravagant as some of the places we've been to in the past. It's no upgrade, but I really want to see where I come from. I really want to go to Vietnam.

Anyways, I don't actually know what we're doing in New York specifically. All I can expect is a lot of shopping, eating, and sightseeing. My dad used to live there so he'll probably show us where he grew up and whatnot. We're visiting family in Boston and checking out Niagara Falls in Canada. I heard it's supposedly better on the Canadian side. Can anyone vouch for that?

Oh yeah, I hate spontaneous blogs about my emotions. I feel like a girl.

And I really really need a facebook picture.
