Hi!

I haven't updated in a while... I know. I've been actually a little uncontactable since I got a new phone and 3 faaaailed to transfer my number over in a timely fashion. I tried not to confuse people by calling/messaging with the temp number, because it's gone now. Forever. My number is the same. Yes.

Um!
News!
I posted this before but then I realised that it was a private entry? Lol fail. So.
Gavin and I are going to Europe (and Egypt) for ~7 months on the 31st of May!

(I am so excited)
The finite details aren't organised yet, but we do know that our first stop will be Paris, (We're flying Perth-Paris but it's not direct) and then we're doing a Bus About thing of Europe, which is just a route that you can go on, you decide when you want to stop and where, for how long, etc.
Then at some point we're going to catch a plane from Barcelona to er, the capital of Portugal, stay with Gavin's aunty in Porto for a week then fly to London on my birthday (14th August). Pretty awesome! We're also going to fit Athens (Acropolis Acropolis Acropolis) in somehow, and Norway or maybe Svalbard.

<lj user="caketime"> I will try to give you an idea of when we would be in Switzerland.. and then maybe we could come and meet you IN REAL LIFE OMG. >_> <_< <small>and you can teach us things... like what to do and stuff</small>

Since we can only spend 3 months in Europe, we're going to be spending a pretty long time in the UK (because we get 6 months there) so maybe like 2... or 3... months.
Should get a fair bit of it done!

Then we're finishing off with a 21 day tour of Egypt in November-December! Should be awesome, the tour covers every major site, temple or thing that I could think of. So. Excited. Omg. Pyramids. Omg, Hatchepsut. OMG SETI I's TOUMB. OMG ABU SIMBEL. OMG OMG OMG.

*ahem*

Yes.

I had a tetanis shot and it is an owwie. I feel like I'm getting sick, my throat hurts. :(

I ALSO GOT A NEW PHONE WHICH IS PURE INTERNET AND ALSO CAMERA.
LG Renoir.
I will write a review of things about it, It's going to be REALLY BORING so it's behind a cut.

HA!

I lied.

I'm actually really lazy.

Haha, fooled you.


THAT IS ALL

BusAbout is awesome, spent 3 months with them myself back in 2000.

Lisbon is the capital of Portugal, and I figure since you are skipping out on the job I just gave you, you can deliver a package for me to someone who lives there.

Obviously your architectural skills will want to catch the Gaudi buildings in Barcelona, however, it is hands down the only place in Europe I would never return to and the only place I in any way felt unsafe and I have hoofed it around pretty much every major city on the continent alone at 3 in the morning.

That's good to hear! We hoped they'd be good. :)

Ah yes, Lisbon! Sure! Hopefully I should be able to do that. I hope the package isn't like, an elephant. That would be awkward.

OH YES. GAUDI ♥
Good to know.

That is FABULOUS. You will have the most wonderful time, say hi to Ramses II for me please! (I assume you're going to go to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo because... well, it's the Egyptian museum in Cairo)
Paris! Go to Shakespeare and Co and there's a lovely restaurant around the corner from Notre Dame which is cheap and fantastic.
Huzzah for you!:)

God damnit Firefox ate my reply

!! Thanks! I will have about 2 days to Peruse the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, I think we're arriving 1 day before the tour begins and leaving 1 day after it ends, beginning and ending in Cairo, so...
I'm nervous about meeting Rameses.

Shakespeare and Co? What am it?
:3 NOTRE DAME YAY
