Don't you just love it when you're about to complete a project and then here comes fate crashing a wave on your sandcastle. Unfortunately there is no time to be disgusted by other people's incompetence and it is very rarely productive to lash out at the culprit(s). It always amazes me how little care and effort people put into their work and how accolades are expected for even the smallest feat. Hey , Lazy, you get paid to do your job so do it and stop crying. I cannot comprehend failure being an option or being tolerated. Sure we all fail but shouldn't failure hurt in some way shouldn't it make you want more? I don't know...

This is my first endeavor into the blogging world so I thought I would try and discuss two of the things most prevalent in my life, travel and anxiety in crowds. As you may imagine my anxiety does somewhat hinder my and especially my spouse's enjoyment of our travels.

I was very fortunate to be able to go a good number of places as a teenager and that carried over into my adult years. While my wife and I did get stuck on a Disney kick for about 7 or 8 years we have definitely learned to expand our horizons. Most of our travels have been in the US but we have been lucky enough to go to Paris last year.

Las Vegas has also been a major destination of ours in the last 5 years or so. I find that it is a great home base or start off point to see parts of the southwest and interior CA. Personnally the nightlife of Vegas is not something I enjoy or can take for any extended period of time. Bars and clubs are definitely not my scene and partying all hours of the night usually does not fit into my schedule. I hope to give insights of things to do in the places I've been for people like me who do not necesarily enjoy crowds or want to avoid them all together. Well that is all I have for now and hopefully my little insights will help you in your travels.
