Brussels By Stumble

Google has failed me so now I am searching for things to do on Friday through StumbleUpon.

This should have some interesting results.

It turns out it is easier to use work to travel than to fund my travels through yard sales and ebay.

Family Travel

It seems my pyramid scheme to sell garage sale items on Ebay has failed. Here are the reasons that I think aided in my failure

• I have no niche expertise that allows me to filter the crap from valuable items amongst the heaps of baby clothes and abused toys (we did find some cool place mats).
• I have no true motivation to get out and "Garage Sale". It is not a social event for me.

So....

I am trying a new technique called "Funding Travel with my Salary".

Here are the plans or more correctly the windows for travel left in 2009:

• Thanksgiving - 21 November to 29 November
• Xmas - 19 December - 3 January

Buzz Items:

• Possible Amtrak trip over Thanksgiving
• Possible Ski trip over Xmas

The Prize - Travel

I have not looked at things with a realistic eye nor should I. This is an experiment and I am going to dream big, bold, and unrealistic.

The three locales that jump to the front of my mind when it comes to spending my moneys earned are:

• Switzerland
• Fiji
• Aruba

A caveat to Aruba is that a coworker of mine is bashing it from her trip. In her words it is a desert with a beach and is infested with man sized iguanas. These are the words of diva and have yet to sway my plans.

So now I need to jump start my eBay/Garage Sale empire but what is my niche? Where does my knowledge base center?
