España

Let me start my apologising to a few people, Mellow, Munster & Ali, as soon as I realised I was cursing myself. CRAP! CRAP! CRAP! You'll know why in a moment.

In the last couple of hours I've been on the skype with my sister who told me that she had to delay plans for her trip to Australia, and suggesting I should visit her in Madrid earlier.
"How about June, after my contract with work finishes?"
Hmmm yeah, why not? I can't start a new job and then take off for a month in September.
"Why don't you stay an extra couple of months so we can travel around Europe? You can make some money helping me make lip balm." "We can drive to Belgium, stop in Paris!" "Go to BERLIN!"
Yeah! Teaching English can wait.
"Stay until September!"
Oooooookay!

Next thing you know, I'm on Zuji.com booking my plane ticket- leaving June 11 returning in three months. HOORAY!!!

And then, I remembered my friends who were coming to Hong Kong to visit in August and I was going to show them around. I know you are probably NOT impressed. I really am truly sorry but my itchy feet got the better of me. Perhaps we can catch up in Europe?

OK, I am in Scotland until July 17th. Any chance you can pop and meet me or I can pop and meet you while we are at least on the same continent? That would be soooo RAD!

Agore is going to be heartbroken in your absence.

What will he do on weekends?

Fuz: Tell me how much a plane ticket costs from Madrid to Glasgow? Or should we meet half way somewhere?
It would be supercool to catch up with thee. :) By the way, have you heard of a shop in Edinburgh called 21st Century Kilts? I just saw a show about it. I want!

SL: yyyyyye...nooo! I really want to say yes but I will be flying via London. Singapore is only a hop skip and jump away from Hong Kong! We will definitely catch up sometime soon. Maybe you and 133 can visit when he is moved?

ninjawookie: I think HL will be heartbroken as well. I don't think they will leave the house now for three months but they did buy Ocean Park season passes. So maybe they will go there for three months. Remember when I was in Brisbane they kept calling me? Ah, it's nice to be missed.

I am well familiar with 21st century kilts. Pretty famous. Urm, cheap, probably, easyjet or ryanair would be good bets from glasgow to madrid, i'll have a goosey...

ok, i can get a flight for £150 or thereabouts, maybe cheaper. BA have flights around the 200 euros mark return in early July. Might manage about 100 euros on Easyjet early July 160ish in June. but would be flying to Edinburgh (not a big deal).
What do u think?

Fuz: Should I meet you in Edinburgh early July then? Is that good for you?
I will book my flight when I get to Spain.

I also have another offer of a meeting in Portugal where there is promise of fresh figs!!
