I just booked my first holiday! Going to Barcelona, Spain in January. And I'm excited! I wasn't sure I was going to be able to make there on my spring/summer trek across Europe so I'm glad I'm hitting it up now. Plus RyanAir has these free flights where all you pay is tax. £21 for return. It's awesome. I'm tres excited.

I've put off my Highland tour until December so I can do a cool 3 day one. I think it'll be worth it. Plus perhaps there will be some snow up there by then. I doubt it but here's hoping. This tour hits up the Isle of Skye (which apparently is beautiful), the Wallace Monument, Loch Ness, and many other super cool places.

In job related news - I applied for an outdoor ed job up near Inverness (north highlands) and am waiting to hear back from them. I'm slightly underqualified but I've noticed that playing the Canadian card works sometimes so perhaps they'll overlook my lack of qualifications for that. On the other hand - it's a 6 month contract starting in Jan - which is longer than I hoped to stay in one place. We'll just wait and see.

I am so sick again. Arg! Damn cough. I'm starting to sound like an old man.

It's the 11th. Remember today.
