I'm working at the Getty Consternation Institute, my first actual 9-5 office job, and I hate it. The same four walls, day in and day out, five days a week. My summer vacation is coming up -- a paltry two weeks (they get four in Europe).
And I want to make the best of it.
"How about the first week in Rock Island, and the second in Paris?" I ask Lane.
"How about staying in West Hollywood and going to the Rage?" Lane counters.
"How about a week in Paris, and a week in London?" I ask.
"Why should I go anywhere else? I'm already here."
"You mean you've never been out of Los Angeles?"
"I spent a year on a kibbutz in Israel. Nowhere else to go, really. There's nothing else there but howling homophobes."
But I like traveling. I've been to Europe four times, plus Australia, Colombia, India, Japan, Turkey, and Thailand. This summer I want to go somewhere!
"Ok, how about this -- I visit my relatives in the Midwest by myself, and then you join me on a trip somewhere. Anywhere you want."
Lane hesitate. "Well, now that you mention it, there's someplace I've always wanted to go."
