Vacation Through Car Trouble

My car has taken another dump on the carpet of my life. Apparently when a car dumps gasoline all over your engine that means the fuel pump went wrong. My car had been sputtering, I had believed it fixed, but I guess it wasn't. My mom was kind enough to pay for it to get fixed that time and I appreciate it. I just feel like...

Ya know what? I have nothing nice to say about this sitch. I doubt it would be very intelligent. It might lend itself to my desire to be able to make paint peel with swear words alone, but it won't solve anything, like kicking it repeatedly didn't. Or threatening to set it on fire - cause it totally would as the engine is covered in gasoline! I love that van... why does it betray me so?

So I think I am going to take the money it will take to fix my car and GO TO CANCUN!

I think I want to go to Astoria, Or... ya know, where they filmed "The Goonies". A comic I've been thinking of would be set there. It would be good to literally go and get a feel for the place.

Maybe the Grand Canyon? The desert sounds nice. Mayhap it would go all Castaneda on my ass and I would see something cool? It would give insight to that fight between FLLOYD the Mutant Coffee Table and that Giant Biker Squid.

Honestly going to Ireland and tracking down all the faerie rings I can find might be a wicked slick vacation. Money is an issue, but at this point I dont care. I just need to flippin get away somewhere that is not exactly work. I swear if ONE MORE THING GOES WRONG oh, it's on! I have like 2 credit cards with pretty good limits and no way to ever pay them back! If I am going to go bankrupt I am gonna do it cooooooool!

Alright, alright I am NOT gonna go bankrupt and seek vacation oblivion. I figure if I spent a grand doing something neat though it might be worth it at this point in my life. I have not gone ANYWHERE in so long, that going ANYWHERE will do. I really need to shake things up ya know?

Someone please tell me I'm not crazy. Or better yet, instead of cautionary tales about how I should mind stuff and be careful in this economy and basically stay at home and be "safe", tell me how it would be possible to travel somewhere REALLY FLIPPIN COOL without breaking my credit cards and myself in the process. That would be doing me a serious solid.
