Travel Schedule

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.

Must Do

This is for the next time I get very tired of writing on the backs of photos. Here are several things, things involving neither photos nor pens, that I would be better off if I did soon:

( Within a day or two )

( Within a week )

( Within a couple weeks )

( Sometime soon, for my sanity )

Ow

Not typing too well right now. Ripprd up index fingernail very badly, few minutes ago. Could not bring myself to do long term least pain thing: finish removing torn piece. Now really ought to hold down torn piece so that when scab forms, surfacw is mostly smooth instead of rough and easy to catch. Ow ow ow.

Introductions

lkeele, meet sunnydale47. She likes both cats and birds, she has interesting things to say, and she has great quotes in her journal. sunnydale47, meet lkeele, an online penpal of mine from way back. She's a philosopher, a mom, a children's book writer, and world traveller, not necessarily in that order. :-)

(This introduction sparked by your adjacent comments in my need-backpacking-buddy entry, and by the letter Q and the number 3.)
