Nudge
Thanks Kiri for the 'nudge'! I have sooooo much to post, but no time to get my thoughts together and do it!
Got back from my amazing USA and Canada trip (primarily to visit my son and daughter-in-law in Raleigh, NC) a week ago, and am now full swing into starting the new school year, and getting my students and classes sorted! I know I have to pop in at Starfleet HQ too, as I DO so want to get involved in the missions there again....*sigh*...I just don't know WHEN!
BIG news is...my daughter and son-in-law are now finally making the big move to Oz. Duane has a job at the University in Adelaid, and they leave end March. 2011 - a bitter-sweet year for me!
Thought about my future and how I need to visit my kids and realised in order to do that I will have to circumnavigate the globe! Oh where is the NCC-1017 when you need it....
I will have to fly from Joburg to Perth, Australia, then on the Adelaid. After visiting with my daughter and son-in-law, will have to fly either to Melbourne or Sydney to get a flight to LA. From LA to Raleigh, North Carolina, to visit son and daughter-in-law. Then on to either New York, Atlanta, or Miami, whichever will give me the current cheapest connection back to Joburg...yup, all the way around the world! In LESS than 80 days! :)
Hoping to do a proper catch-up in livejournal, and post some piccies, soon. In the meantime, some pics of my trip and adventures are on picasaweb:
