Holiday time
Sep. 28th, 2004 03:33 pmI'm going to Norway!
First time in some years, despite some ±25 visits so far this century. Not been back since Stuff™, obviously... But now, I'm going to some totally different parts which I never visited with Herself. I'm flying to Køpenhavn on Thursday, then over to Bergen for a day or two, then boarding ship for a sail right up the coast, through Ålesund [aargh*], Trondheim, Bodø, Tromsø, Hammerfest and right up to Kirkenes, in the Arctic Circle near the Russian border. All thanks to a last-minute booking with my mum. I'd better come up with something special for Yule this year. I've wanted to do this for years, though the original plan was to do one leg by motorcycle and the other by ship - either bike up, sail back or vice versa. Either way, I'm really looking forward to this...
In other news, another snowboarding trip is beckoning in the New Year. From around the 8th Jan in La Dailles, just outside Val d'Isére. Snag is, I'm the gooseberry on this trip... Looks like I'll be in a room on my own, and thus paying a surcharge. Anyone fancy coming and sharing? If not, I'll have to see if I can persuade![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fintlewoodlewix to let me borrow his chalet...
Then, the day after I'm back, I have to leave again for Octocon! It's all go around here...
In other news, does anyone have a phone number forreddragdiva or redcountess? I think I have managed to arrange delivery of a Mac for them tonight and I need to know where it's going...
* Kjersti's birthplace. There are going to be a lot of resonances this trip, if no direct memories. I've been to Bergen before, in fact, in 1994, on my first ever trip to Norway... Before I'd ever even spoken to her. (Merely ogled from a safe distance at Eastercon, then got off with someone else.) But still...
