Travel Plans...

Well, I think my trip is set (fingers crossed). I am leaving from Toronto on May 9th, flying to London, then Dubai, arriving in Colombo on the morning of May 11th. Yup, I am going in the opposite direction as last time. I am happy to be trying another route. This means that I don't have a long, long, long flight like the fifteen hour one from Toronto to Hong Kong... instead it is approximately 7 hours, 7 hours, 4.5 hours... that's better eh? I am going straight there so that I have an extra day to get acclimatized and ready to work. But on the way home I am going to stop for a day in London, well actually, the thought of a day in London was sooooo good, that I thought three days in London would be even better. So after Sri Lanka I will have a three day mini-vacation in London. I am looking so forward to it. I haven't been in London since I was eighteen... yeah, a long time ago!

So now all I have to do is get things organized at the library, gather together all the information for the training sessions, and pack my bags. Yikes, may not sound like a lot, but I think I will be in full panic mode for the next two weeks trying to get everything done. Wish me luck.

More soon....

A Little News...

Well, I have a little news... I am going back to Sri Lanka! The mission is scheduled for May 14 - 25, so I will probably be leaving on May 10th! Ummm, yes, that means I will be in Sri Lanka, or at least in the air en route, four weeks from today. YIKES!!! I have sooooo much to do between now and then.

Quietly freaking out in K-W. ;-)
