And Now, the Moment We've All Been Waiting For...

Well, not all of us, but certainly some and most certainly me - was for my fate to be decided by the powers that be based on the other side of the world about the remainder of my Austrian life. Ask and ye shall receive; as hoped, I will be extending my time here by another 4 months - more money, more time. I'm happy, my friends here are happy, and my parents get more time to do their home renovations. So they should too be happy but I am not sure. Apartment also sorted, so now just the flights to be fixed. I'll lose money there, but will make it up with extra salary. Exact leaving date to be determined, but it will be some time in August.

Anyway, a huge relief also in that I don't have to figure out to pack an 87 sq. m. apartment into a broken 64 L backpack anytime soon.

And since I've been stuck here now almost an entire month (!), its time to start making all my lofty plans for everything I want to do before I leave. Morroco flights gone too expensive, I'll need to find another Easter destination, so any thoughts are welcome! leaning towards Turkey, middle east, etc. something poss in 4 days. Going tomorrow to get my passport sorted out (massive shocker here, its full!), so I can finally put an end to the delerium tremens i'm experiencing from the recent lack of travel! Cos sometimes, you just need to get OUT.

As the news came Thursday, there was some time for celebrations with friends this past weekend and we had a top night out, so its not been all too bleak staying here at the weekends! Hopefully some travel stories coming soon....
