My Wall

Writers block. It’s a bitch. This is my third time sitting down with the specific purpose of writing about my trip to Prague and Budapest but the words are not coming to me and my muse (whatever she or it may be) has failed to stimulate me. Though you may be thinking if I have writers block, or a form thereof, what posses me to push the modern industrial looking keys of my computer and construct sentences here. The reason mis compadres (sometimes I get an urge to speak in Spanish and for Taco Bell, I contribute this to one of my previous lives as a Spanish conquistador) is that though I can’t seem to write about what we did during our travels I can speak at length about what I got out of my mid-semester break.
So for those who don’t know I booked my flight about 48 hours before its departure through my new favorite website, El-Al spontaneity (only available in Hebrew). The site has last minute deals on flights to mainly Europe (also North America, India and China, a little advertisement for El-Al) and for about half the price of a regular ticket. As I sat looking at what deals were on the site I saw that for $209 I could get a round trip ticket to Prague leaving on Wednesday night and returning Thursday a week later. This offer was too good to let go by and after messaging back and forth with Zach through facebook and e-mail I decided to book my flight.
Looking back on the trip I realized that 1) doing anything spontaneously is more fun and exiting than planning it out and 2) when you save money doing one thing you end up justifying buying ridiculous shit with the ‘supposed’ money you saved. And that the friends you travel with are what make the trip, not the places we went. We could have visited Prague or the Gobi Desert and we still would have had fun just being with each other.
