travel up

Travel is up this year. Last year I had trips

• with Sandy to Paris
• a brief tour with my parents around Brittany, Paris, Dorking and Oxford
• Jacques' wedding in Seingbourse
• weekend in Paris with Dave, Sandy, Nee et al
• a workshop in Canterbury followed by a few days in London
  
• a conference at St Malo
  
• and a weekend at La Rochelle

This year, so far I've had

• Trip to switzerland for Bern Fastnachts
• and again for same at Murten
• a technical meeting in Athens
• Liz's farewell weekend in Normandy

So, I'm already 2-3 trips up on this time last year, which can only be a good thing.

I've got a few things in the pipeline, too. I talked to Gabrielle the other night, and I'm going to try to get to either Paris or Liseux to visit them, hopefully in June. Mick and Chris are here in June, and Lee in July, so there'll certainly be a couple of trips tied up in there, too. I'm also hoping to get away for some more local weekends, plans including a cycle trip up to St Malo, possible getaways to the nearby islands such as Guernsey/Jersey/Belle-Ile, and perhaps a trip out to Finistere.

I feel dirty, I've basically just made a flashback episode.
