Necessities

A beautiful day in the city today. Sunshine, no clouds. Cold, but who cares? I may have mentioned this before, but this is my third winter within a year's time. One in NYC before I left, one starting South America in May, and another still in NYC. Looking back, for my next adventure, I think I'm going to work it out so I have three summers in a year. First off, winter clothes are so much bulkier. And living in a backpack, or a shoe-box apartment for that matter, is tough with thick sweaters and the like. Second of all, I think I just prefer having a tan. It's not so much that I don't like winter. I think it's the sun factor that I need. And really, all I need in life is a few pairs of pants, a coupla shirts, a bikini or two, shades and flip-flops. So, I'm looking at Asia, Australia & New Zealand. But am hoping to avoid monsoons, tsunamis, sharks and the like...
