Brian's Bits

You know those people that go on vacations for only one reason? You know, "snow birds" head south for the winters for the weather. People going on vacations to India for plastic surgery are getting more popular. You always have those history buffs that go to famous historical landmarks. Let's not forget about shopping either. I'm not really interested in weather, plastic surgery, history or shopping. I like food. I've decided that this summer, I'm going to go on a trip with the only objective being to eat lots and lots of good food. Sometimes I think I'm pretty easy to please.
One of my goals in the next couple years (tentatively planned for June / July / August of 2008) is to buy some kind of transportation near Seattle (near where I'm from) - preferably a motorcycle, but anything should do - and drive to Brazil. I've always wanted to go there and I've always wanted to go on a super long road trip. I also want to eat lots of sweet food along the way. I grew up eating a lot of Mexican food and I've really come to love it. Although some of their tastier dishes aren't really my cup of tea (my being vegetarian and all), there are still a lot of great options.
When I grow old and if I have grandchildren, I don't want to tell them about all the interesting property investments I made and how I managed a diversified portfolio. Stories about being penny-less and lost in some strange country would probably be more exciting. What's better than good food? Good food in a new place.
