Travel Addiction: It's a serious disease

I won't be in a position to actually buy my ticket until Monday- I sold some stocks to do so and will inevitably end up homeless and destitute one of these days. But anyway, now that I will soon be in a position to actually fund my way to Lebanon I am struck by the idea that maybe I should fly out of another European city (other than London which is where I am flying to on the 24th). It seems (at least for now) much cheaper to fly out of Berlin or Vienna. I could travel to one of those cities by bus relatively inexpensively and save myself about $150. But will I be sane enough to endure another 20+ hour bus ride? Hmmmmmm In other news, assuming I do end up penniless one of these days, I have a half-hearted plan that I might then take a bus to NY and try couchsurfing for a few months. Alternative Reality Version of Me managed to make her way around New Orleans for free this way for almost 4 months! But then she was a much bigger parties and sometimes (more or less) traded sex for a comfy bed. I have no moral objections to this almost-prostitution, but my body won't allow it.  Sometimes it sucks being demisexual.
