Plotting and planning :)

Excited!

My friend Emma called round this evening to plan a trip together. After I put her through the ordeal of a week's cycling around Holland in the rain last summer, I wasn't sure she'd ever want to go on holiday with me again, but thankfully she has a short memory. At the start of the year I decided to book off almost a full month at the end of this summer, so now I need to fill it with trips, two or three if I'm lucky. Today we booked our flights and we're off to Iceland for a week at the start of September - can't wait!

I'm also just off the phone with my best friend to arrange a trip to visit her next week on Rathlin Island, a little island off the north coast where she's doing some bird research this summer. The list of things I've been told to bring give me the impression that it won't be a luxury holiday: they include a sleeping bag, thermals and food! When I joked about bringing a shovel for sanitary purposes she uttered the heart-warming sentence: "well there is a toilet, BUT..." - haha, should be fun!!

Really really love trips :-))
