I'm going to Holland the weekend of 24th May. I'll arrive at teatime on Friday, and hopefully meet up with
Then I'm coming to England for the weekend of 21st June, which means missing Midsummer but I've experienced the quaint Swedish tradition twice now and I have important reasons to be in England that weekend, namely that my cousins are visiting from Australia. I will arrive Thursday evening and may come straight to the Carlton from the airport cos that was fun last time. I obviously want to spend some of Friday through Sunday with the cousins, depending on their plans, since that's the whole point! I might make it to Pembury on Sunday evening though, so I can see some of my London peeps. And if people want to see me they should let me know so I can fix things. I will have three full days in England, so it will be less ridiculously manic than some of my trips.
It's the Merton society weekend that weekend, which I could theoretically go to some of, but I dunno, cousins are priority of course. It's possible they might want to see Oxford, which is a good place for tourists.
I was feeling guilty that getting into a long distance relationship has pretty much destroyed all my good resolutions about flying. But to be fair, I've only made one gratuitous trip so far that I should blame the relationship for, and even then it was combined with Screwy's birthday. I would have gone home for Pesach anyway, and I definitely wouldn't want to miss my cousins as it might be years before I see them again. I could possibly have thought of travelling overland to Holland, if I were being less parsimonious with holiday time, but you know.
Now I need to sort out the summer. It's possible that I might try to get to north America some time this summer, but I don't know. It's been far too long since I saw
I want to spend some time in England at some stage, probably arranged around
*sigh* I hate geography and logistics is on its side. But the overall conclusion is getting to see my friends, which is yayful.
