Utah
Didn't I write something about my trip to Utah? I could have sworn I did. Sometimes I write an entry, but don't save it. And then it gets lost in the fourteen tabs that I always keep open (I have no idea why), and the internet connection drops (annoying quirk in my new laptop), and I restart my computer, and I'm none the wiser until I actually come back to write again. Ah ha ha, interweb: you score again.
I went backpacking in Utah! It was fantastic, on so many levels, not the least of which I was hiking through Canyonlands and saw maybe five people a day. Just me, my forty-five pound pack, my footsteps, some hunger, and bunch of sun-soaked rocks.
I rented a "compact" car, too. Which looked suspiciously like a Dodge Nitro. With satellite radio. I blasted Kanye West while fishtailing on a dirt road. Also fantastic.
On my flight home, I got bumped twice. And suddenly, my $284 ticket turned into $800 of travel vouchers. Which I promptly started spending the moment I got home. Hello, Boston. (Oddly enough, the ticket to Boston [well, Hartford] was $65 less than the ticket to Salt Lake City.)
