Old habits

Its that time of the year again... when everyone around the world is  packing/flying for the holiday seasons .As I speak  people are getting their boarding passes issued and  heading off on holidays.  I had this pact with a couple of good frds about 6 years back to be in a different city every Jan 1st. At that point it was one of the best trips we ever had , so it meant the world when we made it and signed it on an used tissue paper in a roman cafe (whenever I read my posts back I feel like quite a drama queen :)). I managed to stay true to my pact for the last 5 years even though its ironical that I am a stranger to the whereabouts of  one of those pals, who I thought I would have the pleasure of running into every year end :)
 The group broke up and people got busy with new friends and dissertations to be written , Trips got hindered by geography, student budgets, job interviews and life additions . A lot of good things ( :)) were happening in both of their lives seperately. So not complaining at all...but neither one of the pals could make it to these trips.  I for one managed to stay rooted  with a steady job, so had the luxury to travel to a different city every new year with different sets of frds/family. I had some amazing new years in unknown destinations. However  there seems to be some friction for all the fun offlate.
Last year I cancelled my flight tickets last minute for some reason. But some of my awesome friends woke me up early on New years and took me on ferry to Indonesia so that I continue the trend . God bless them  :)

Now ...this year after a great 1 month break , without any leave at my disposal, and everybody else headed to expensive places,  am wondering if I shd still stick to the pact ? Especially when none of the premises like company remain . Time I started getting real? 

 Lets see...
