For three years, I have been in China teaching Swing Dancing. Now I'm wandering yet again...

Here's the update. It's been a few days since I could get to a computer.
I left Phoenix and took all my stuff with me. My cousin and I had one last a night on the town. While in Phoenix, I considered purchasing a house. However, I was not completely convinced it made good practical sense. Because I have not decided where I want to live, it just didn't sound like the best possible choice.
I left Phoenix on Tuesday around noon. I drove north to the Grand Canyon, arriving at about 5pm. I entered the park and got out of the car, and the Grand Canyon is quite beautiful. Very colorful, very, very large. I stayed there and watched the sun go down. There were about 100 people in the area with me doing the same thing.
Then, I drove on towards Vegas. As an added bonus, I saw the Hoover Dam about midnight. It's really cool! It looks really modern, which is amazing considering it was finished in the early part of the 1900's. I had no idea I was going to see the dam until I drove right onto it.
When I reached Vegas I visited a few casinos. You know they say Vegas never sleeps? Well, it does. Tuesday at 3am, it's pretty much sleeping. I played a little roulette, met some folks, and drove on towards San Jose. I was getting really tired, so I took a few naps at rest stops.
I finally arrived in San Jose at about 7pm, and I went out with some friends for dinner. Right now I am staying at a friend's place. I'm going to pick up a few things, visit some more friends, then probably head out to Montana where I'll meet up with my family.
I checked with the travel agency. I can get a $799 open-ended round trip ticket from San Francisco to Shanghai at any time. I can say, "I'm leaving tomorrow" and the price is the same. I think I am favoring going to a university for a short term. I think this would give me the most flexibility.
I'm also considering taking a side trip to Thailand, which is very affordable. For what it cost to live in Pheonix I could easily spend as much time in Thailand. My only reservation on this plan is that I don't have anyone to travel with and I don't have much knowledge of good and bad places to go. I think it's worth more research, though.
