dirty thirty.

i'm only four days into twenty nine, but i can't help but feel thirty is nearly here. and it's got me thinking about how i wanted to spend my thirtieth birthday. now i know that a big "surprise" party is the norm...but i'm thinking something bigger and something grander. something i'll remember forever. and...because i have a few must-do-before-i-die-or-am-too-tied-down-to-do-and-enjoy trips on my list...let's just say that the saving has officially begun. where will i be next june at this time? hopefully egypt. or easter island. or both. or somewhere completely different, but equally awes.
