Heading out

My long awaited trip is beginning tomorrow. I'll begin with a visit to J in Hamilton, before heading to Halifax on Saturday. I'll be visiting J and D as well as sundry others in Halifax before finally hitting London. It'll be fun to see Halifax again, even if they don't have craps anymore. I arrive in London at 4AM which is midnight in Halifax, so basically that night will disappear for me. I'm probably going straight to Hyde Park and be a vagrant for a while, sleeping until they kick me out. Depending on how much energy I have, I'll see what I can do. Then I'm flying out of Stansted the next morning at 6AM, so I'll have to sleep there. I'm flying to Aarhus, then I'll have to transfer to Aalborg and go for a series of gruelling interviews at Aalborg U. By then I predict that I'll pretty much be a babbling lunatic (more so than usual) so no doubt I'll impress them enormously. On the 23rd or 24th I'll catch a bus to Hamburg, and then another to Paris in time for Corie's flight from Shanghai at 5PM on the 25th. So for that first period I'm subscribing to the school of frantic, city a day travel, which we all know is the most fun. Fortunately we have the "perfect hotel" in Paris. No really, that's its name, so I can sleep for a week there. Its located in Montmartre, and my parents stayed there during Euro 2000 when France won the tournament, so I'm hoping for a repeat. (NOt bloody likely with the way they played against the Swiss)
