Planning continues for my 50th birthday, which is in February. Part of me feels a need to not pressure myself into doing something "big" or profound, so that I won't be disappointed by a trip to Ireland (how could I be?) or a skydive (forget it). The closest I've come to a plan is to send myself to Chicago for a few days of grown-up fun, including a walk out onto one of the glass sky decks at the Willis Tower (yikes!) on the day, plus trips to a couple of museums. Air fare is quite reasonable, and I love Chicago, so this is Choice One.
Choice Two is to send myself on the Downeaster to Boston. To be at the Kennedy Library on my birthday would be significant to me, and I do love Boston. Great museums are in place there as well, and I found the city's early history quite fascinating as a kid. Train travel is dirt cheap, allowing me to spend more on dinner, entertainment, and exploration.
What to do, what to do? More hand-wringing to come.
