As Usual, Bad Timing!

I am not sure if it happens to anybody else, but sometimes I feel that I have the worst timing ever when it comes to key decisions. Although they often tend to work out fine anyway, I often find myself frustrated at the fact I typically need to take which is more challenging. This occurs with things both simple and complex. For example, I almost always choose the slowest line when going to pay my groceries at the supermarket or the worst toll booth when driving through a Highway! Even worse, I often buy some crypto right before it falls 10%!

I have grown used to this for sometime now so rarely pay attention to it as I always say it’s better to occupy myself with solving situations then preoccupy myself with them. This has helped me just continue to move forward in my life despite adversity and challenges I have faced. Therefore, I was not surprised to hear about the announcement of Steem Fest 4 today which comes only 2 weeks after I have booked my family vacation this year. This will provide a challenge for me for a number reasons as I was hoping that the venue and date would work out for 2019. However, it seems to be more complicated than that.

The event will be held in Bangkok, Thailand this year for a week at the beginning of November. I had heard that this will be the potential venue which I think it’s great given the amount of community members we have in that region of the world and also knowing that it has been far away from that region in the past. For me, it becomes a challenge as it will be literally halfway around the world from me. This is the first challenge as I am not a big fan of being on planes for long periods of time.

As soon as I found out about the event, I am mediately searched for some travel options during that week. I was saddened to find that it will take at least 27 hours for me to get there and will include a flight of at least 14 hours as well. I am uncertain that I would be able to handle it as I do not enjoy flying and have never been in a flight longer than 8 hours. The prices do not seem that bad as it seems that it would be around $1,200 on average round-trip. However, that is also considering that it would be in economy class which just makes the hours feel even worse. However, this is where it gets more complicated as I am sure that the family will not be happy if I were to go alone to Asia as they have wanted to go in the past. In fact, Bangkok was one of the options they originally wanted to explore for our vacation this year; we opted for Europe next month for two weeks.

This also brings the issue that I will have limited time off from work available to go to the trip. Making a 24 hour journey just to be there for a couple of days doesn’t really seem to be efficient either. It would probably be best to go and enjoy the event as well as taking additional time to explore the region as well. However, that also brings up issues of my daughter school time if I were to go with the family. She will be in a new school year which continue to become more disciplined every year. While The teachers in school have been flexible in the past, it may be more challenging given the time and the amount of work she will be getting the next school year.

Since experiencing Steem Fest 3 from the outside via the livestreams and recorded content, as well as the great coverage that plenty of participants shared, I have really been looking forward to going to the next one. However, given my bad timing, I am unsure if it will happen this year. I had originally thought that budgetary constraints would be the reason I could not go which makes this even more frustrating as I believe that we will be full blown out of the bear market when this occurs which could lead to a very interesting conversations being held in Bangkok in November. I hope that I can potentially come up with something soon to allow me to go but at this point, it is not looking good.
