Trip End
Jun 18, 2008
I've been back in Canada two days now. The flights home were tiring. Edinburgh via Amsterdam and Minneapolis, then finally into Winnipeg. The last two flights were killer on my ears, my head feeling like it was going to explode, and then losing my hearing, and now on antibiotics and such because apparently the cold I caught over 3 weeks ago upon leaving Ios is now an ear infection. Geez! Oh, well. I am never too surprised that I get run down and eventually sick when I travel. At least I have a good time!
I am missing Europe so so much right now. Winnipeg is the same as ever, despite the fact that this will be the first summer I will have spent here since 2004, nothing much has changed. Europe just never ceases to amaze me. The history, the different cultures, languages, festivals, music, landscapes, food, people, and then all the new experiences you inevitably have and new people that you meet. Everyday is exciting because you never know what it will bring. I think if I could have just repacked my backpack in Edinburgh and left behind about half of the stuff that I had with me at the end of two months, I could have kept going for the rest of the summer. I would have loved nothing more!
Back to reality though. The air travel isn't looking too favourable at the moment as far as costs and fuel prices go, but if all works out well, after this summer, and working for a few more months, I am hoping to head off to the other other side of the world. Australia!!! It's been a long time coming this trip, and now that I am back home and no longer concentrating on where in Europe to go to next, it's a bit easier to focus on a new trip and put that into perspective. I think you always need to wait for the right timing as far as a big trip goes and I think I have waited long enough, and the time is right. So come September or October, I hope to be off again. I will definitely look forward to blogging about that as well.
Guess there is not much more to add. I am finally getting the pics up from the missing entries, so that should be done in the next two or three days. Otherwise, thanks for reading and til next time....
