Fleeting Glimpse


Feeling a bit depressed! I did some calculations today and I am not sure if I can justify going to Thailand for just a weekend. Obviously it does fit in with the overall goal of Ironman preparation, and the triathlon in Phuket is the real drawcard. It will be a great primer in the middle of winter here. It's really because I am flying to South Africa just a month later, and will essentially be drawing on my savings for three months. So I am trying to weigh the reasons why I really need to make this trip. It basically boils down to these:
1) Because I can
2) Because I can
3) Because I really really can

Reasons not to go:
1) Because I intend to buy a house
2) Because I may well go to Thailand again in April to do a TESOL
3) Because I'm a travel deficient schmuck

Everything is arranged if I want to go - accomodation, air ticket, people to cover for me at work.

What to do? Any words of wisdom?
