Sometimes information comes out of the ether and what appeared to be is not. What provokes this is unimportant, though it's strange and came about in the process of looking for information on something equally odd.
Work is slow and I'm distracted thinking about what to plan and not.
Trip Notes, if you were interested.
It's going to be 150 Euro to fly a board back . That's bananas.
I am taking a cell, a cheap one where the SIM switches out. I'm not taking a laptop this time for security/travel weight/lack of wifi reasons. I'm probably taking my rusty 4G ipod and leaving it there, assuming it still works.
I booked the cheapest air flight to the coast from the hub yesterday, approximately $35 CAD. The first stop is warm (forgiving) water and sunny beaches to deal with my pale skin vitamin deficiencies. The second stop is unknown, I've been going back and forth a lot on it.
Accom costs have jumped about 10% even with the exchange rate, mostly attributable to the Canadian dollar sucking like it's 2002. However, food costs appear to have remained pretty stable and transit is still inexpensive.
It's possible I could find some work that would cover some room and board but I'm not sure about that one yet. There are a couple solid volunteer projects that are worthwhile literally right beside where I'm staying. Normally I'd say voluntourism is neither here nor there but the projects are being run by my friends in a community that benefits from them. So we'll see.
I'm not sure if the E can come or not. To be honest, I think her travel dollar is better spent heading somewhere else as two weeks is way too short to go this far and the cost is prohibitive right now. I sent some info on everything and haven't heard back yet...
More to follow. Time for drinks.
