There's a convention that's usually up here in SF but will be down there instead this year that I'm a staff volunteer at.

They're comping my hotel

I just have to figure out how to get DOWN there

I kind of don't want to drive?

which means carpooling with another volunteer or flying/renting a car

Flying and car rental looks to be about $200 all told.

which is probably cheaper than needing to get gas several times between here and there, roundtrip

I'm excited and nervous, augh SOMEONE MAKE DECISIONS FOR ME

I say go for it if you can.

Yes!

because things here are...well they are what they are.

Yeah.

on the other hand $200 seems like a lot to me

to spend on one thing

though I know I need to live a little (or a lot)

I've also never gone on a trip alone.

Not one where flying was an option, anyway.

itvolunteering or...?

Yes, go, live!

it is volunteering! I'm a staff volunteer there

BUT IM SO NERVOUS I am the worst at planning anything alone ha
