Travel Schedule

[cjsmith]

Must resurrect PalmPilot soon. Want to plot out all travel through end of 2003. Since I don't have a job, I want to take advantage of the free time and travel a huge bunch... the last four years without much vacation time have made their mark, and I'll be @#$!d if I dither around and pass up this opportunity. So:

Germany. Can't be rescheduled: square dance booking.
Have been saving my pennies for Cairo since roughly last summer. Really really want to go.
Have been saving my pennies for Scotland since roughly I was born. Might be able to attach it to Germany trip - one set of tickets, one set of jetlag.
Many local square dance bookings are starting to make the summer and early fall time-schedule look kind of tight.
Fill in interstices with hikes, camping, backpacking, mooching plane rides, everything I never had the time to do while I was working.

Then there's 2004, which might, just might, contain Japan (another square dance booking) and Sweden again (yep, square dance booking)... but I'll be employed by then, I devoutly hope... hrm, must plan ahead.

Want that durn PalmPilot back.

When I took my leave of absence, I was "All but ABD" -- all but all but dissertation. :)

Specifically, I did everything towards the Ph.D. EXCEPT the quals, and the diss itself. Because once you take those quals, you only have 7 years to complete the diss, or the whole thing expires. Since I didn't know how long I'd be gone, I didn't think it wise to put myself through quals that might be wasted, and if I came back *before* the 7 years were up, I didn't want my diss time shortened.
