Enga mellom fjella

Almost full.

What to call me new blog...

The skies have been dripping. Still spring-like weather. Someone mentioned "crocus". Oh my!

I still have small yellow flowers in bloom by my bed.

And still lots of questions that need to be answered before this trip!

I need to send my itinerary out by mail to family and friends that don't use the internet.

I should practice smiling. I do smile a lot. Maybe frown less?

Can anyone come over and pack for me?

Me:

Not too stressed, but need to accomplish some things I've put on a list.

Have a better idea how trains and buses run in Ireland... buses are cheaper. And there's a bus from Dublin airport that goes through Cashel on the way to Cork.

Can I stay in Mito in Japan? Yes! Do I know a way to get there from Narita airport (Tokyo)? Not yet.

Can I afford this trip?

Called my bank and we slashed my piggy bank in half. Transferred enough funds to checking to hold me on this trip.

Poor .

I'm running out of space on this old blog. I could consolidate it but it may be easier to use my old blog or open another one especially for this trip (and future trips?). It'll need a new name as well.

I'll try to do more links on facebook. Few folks read my daily blitherings anymore. The travel blogs will be in a different writing style with a goal of daily writing if not posting. One can hope.
