April 15th is my last day at work. I've been there nearly five years, and while I've learned and hopefully accomplished a lot, over the past year I've become increasingly less enthused about the overall direction of the company and my department. I'm not going to go into more detail in a public blog, but suffice it to say it was time to move on

I've always been fairly frugal, and so having decided to quit I also decided not to hop to a new job. Instead I bought a 65L backpack and a one-way plane ticket to Europe. My plan is.... not to have much of a plan. I've cobbled together a fairly modest list of things to see and do, and beyond that I'm just going to try to wing it. Americans aren't allowed to stay in the Schengen area longer than 90 days, but I'm not yet sure whether I want to end the trip at that point or continue on to somewhere new. Not a problem though - I have three months to figure it out

As you'd imagine, blog posting will be erratic to non-existent while I'm away (not too much of a change). If anyone has travel tips or suggestions of places to see, I'd be happy to hear them. Just email me: crayz [at] crayz [dot] org

Bye!
