Vacation?
I’m going to go on vacation, hopefully in September or October, if it kills me.
Here are the ideas of places to look into:
SWEDEN: I could stay with Mårten & Hanna possibly. I haven’t seen them in ages! It’s close to Copenhagen and stuff.
ISRAEL: Probably not the best place to hang out close to a presidential election, but I could visit Saki; and I’ve always wanted to see the Middle East. He’ll be busy most of the time probably, but whatever. I can certainly entertain myself in Jerusalem!
PRAGUE: This has been my #1 destination for like years. Laura & Jack live there for a couple weeks out of every month because of Jack’s job, so I could stay with them potentially… I know Berlin is not close, but as long as I’m in that part of the world, I may take extra time to go there… I hate imposing on people, though.
GREAT BRITAIN: Though I’ve spent tons of time in Ireland, my time in England has been a total of 2.5 non-consecutive days. I’d really like to go to Wales and Scotland too, and check out some nerd-related King Arthur or other archaeological sites. Pros: Doctor Who Museum. Cons: shitty dollar rate (that’s affects everywhere though…), nobody to crash with
Other places on my hot list are Peru, India, Australia, Egypt, East Africa… but they are so not in my budget right now!
