Enga mellom fjella

Flying... I'm Flying!

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!
