More holiday travel thoughts
I think I've gotten it down to either "go to NYC" or "go to London".
NYC pros: more friends in the area, way cheaper trip (both airfare and that I can crash with friends), way easier trip, can go down to Philly to see aunt/uncle if I want, can see Carl since he'll be in the US for a bit, etc.
NYC cons: did it last year for new year's already. *could* work from NYC office but not easily justifiable.
London pros: new place! I've never been to Europe! can hang out with Chris and Megan! can maybe go to Scotland and see James! LOTS of musicals that I'm interested in! can work from London office easily since I have several team members there (and one that I really really want to meet who hasn't been able to get over to the US)!
London cons: super expensive. long plane flights. kinda scary going to new country mostly alone. Don't have any friends who are actually in London proper.
The other thing is that if I wait long enough I'm pretty sure Google will send me to London at some point (our whole team went over in July, apparently). Though in that case it'd be harder to do things like go up and visit other friends and see musicals and whatever. And I would kinda like to take trains around the UK, which I can do on vacation but not so much on a work trip. But I mean, I think I could seriously go to the UK for 2 weeks and only have to take maybe 1 day of vacation total if I time it right (and work from the London office for a week).
Aaaaah, so indecisive. Not sure why this is so hard to decide. I guess my heart isn't truly psyched for either, but on the other hand I think I'd be pretty depressed if I just stayed in SF for the entire holiday season.
