Then, my phone distracted me. It pulled me from that reality into thinking about future trips. The problem about always having the Internet in one's pocket, is the temptation factor. It is easy to waste one's time redoing similar things. Is there a name for killing time through repetative swipes and clicks? I did spend a half an hour in the Airbnb app. I realized some immediate plans can be made for some breaks when in Kuala Lumpur during February and March.

Then, there's the entire winter NEXT YEAR to think about. Should we strike out to visit new locations? Or should we build on some locations in which we have stayed and enjoyed?
