Thursday 24 May: Newark to London:Heathrow
Friday 25 May: Heathrow to Prague
Saturday 23 June: Prague to Switzerland. Train/plane plans not completely set but I think I’m going via train for the scenery.
Monday 25 June: Geneva to New York
The interim month is, of course, summer study abroad. Four weeks, two classes. We’ll be travelling during the classes as well, both around the Czech Republic and for Sports Tourism the professor is talking about a weekend trip to either Turino or one of the World Cup sites. Still planning to also try and visit Poland, which I didn’t get to do last time, and catch up with someone :p
And then after a hiatus where I try to earn some money, Im off again…
8 August: New York to Los Angeles
8 August: Los Angeles to Melbourne via Auckland – [yet another, technically I've been to the country but I haven't made it out of the airport stops, unfortunately]. Forgot how crazy the flights from the west coast are, I don’t arrive until Friday! No Thursday just like when I went to Fiji.
19 August: Melbourne to Adelaide
23 August: Adelaide to Brisbane
24 August: Brisbane to Los Angeles
26 August: Los Angeles to New York
….probably not, but it’s going to be a fun summer.
First I have to get through the end of this semester. PGAV/Gettysburg presentation is Tuesday. Yay. Then I need to get back to my Organic Restaurant, which is due Monday. The end is in sight

That’s fantastic that you’ve already booked your trip! It sounds fab, especially taking the train to enjoy the scenery from Prague to Switzerland!

I agree with Christine: take the train!
As for catching up: if I don’t have a job until may/june, I’m going to Belarus the 13th of june.

Thats a great big trip!
I am so jeaous! .. i really need to get over to europe.
But only one night in Brissvegas? I will (hopefully!) be in my new place by then, so you will at least have a couch or something to crash on if u want
You’ll have to get me the times, so we can organise something – might see if i can swing a bit of time off and we can hoon around a bit. Hopefully there’s enough time to do more than just a quick hi/bye dinner..
chat soon!

@ Christine: I figured since I was booking one trip I might as well book three (NY-LA RT is separate since it was booked on miles). I finally decided miles are for using and not hoarding, free RT in the US was well-worth spending of miles especially since I’m likely to pick up nearly as many as I spent with my flights this summer. They’ll all be AA miles, which I haven’t used in many moons.
@ Ute: Yeah, definitely taking the train. I’ll either take the train straight from Prague (via Munich to Zurich and then on to Geneva the next day) or fly to Geneva and wander around trains from there. All depends on times and when Rail Europe finally puts out the dates for that train. I know Belarus will be wonderful for you, but I’d love to catch up too.
@ Loz: Yes, hence the reason for my e-mail. I couldn’t swing more than one night due to silly flight times. I’m there for ~12 hours. Land at noon and fly out at 11am the next day I think. Will confirm when my itinerary is in front of me. Definitely want to catch up, I miss you!

And I’d love to see you again, too! And maybe I’ll have a job, maybe even in Berlin (though I’d prefer another one located in Western Germany). Yeah, there are some difficult decisions due to be dealt with. I definitely should start my new roundmail this week, to tell you all about that.

We’ll manage to catch up somewhere, somehow
I can’t believe it’s nearly been a year. Scary thought! I need to find some time once exams and papers are done to play catch up with everyone.
