That or... I'm nuts or... both. I hope to see some trees on my trip. I also hope to see the fynbos. If there were a pirate ship going my way it'd have to be easier than arranging planes. I'll be on a few trains... those tickets must wait. At times it's cheaper to fly. Must remember to buy tea as gifts and instant coffee bags as well. I was in Costa Rica for my birthday in 2012, in Luxembourg in 2013, in Spain in 2014. This year? South Africa. me me me me me: I haven't been a good person to be around the last two weeks. The planning has driven me nuts. Good plans... and mistakes. So: 1. Honolulu, Hawai'i 2. Tokyo, Japan: Will try to get to Kyoto, Nara, Osaka... plus Shikoku and Kyushu. Would like to visit Tohoku. 3. Brisbane, Australia: To include visiting friends in Sydney and leaving from Melbourne. 4. Cape Town, South Africa (should I have done a stayover in Singapore?) 5. Dubai: It breaks up the trip. Just two nights. 6. Lisbon, Portugal: Coimbra! Évora! Lagos! And probably Tavira, maybe Bragança, Sevilla or Mérida in Spain. 7. Oslo, Norway: Definitely Kristiansand for the 17th of May! 8. Dublin, Ireland: Tra Lí (Writer's workshop in Listowel?), Cork. 9. Oslo, Norway... and it's the 9th of June and the next part isn't planned yet. Sweden? Finland? Latvia? Estonia? Lithuania? Noway: Molde, Solvorn, Ålesund, Trondheim, Voss, Bergen? 10. HOME? That's not planned yet either. I've thought of cutting it a bit short but June 27th is big in Sweden. Some problem with cheap tickets to the U.S. as well; but, Canada may be the answer from Dublin or Glasgow. A lengthy list; but, it's a lengthy trip. 4 months or longer. Anyone want to lend me some money? In other news: I'm eating, sleeping, pooping... and slowly calming down. I'm sooo FOUR YEARS OLD! |
