On the road soon

Summer is crazy time.

Especially this summer! It seems that I'm at home for just a day or two and then off to somewhere again... But it's fine. I can rest, relax and sleep when the fall comes. Just kidding!

I'm packing my backbag once again. Tomorrow morning (well 11.45am...) I'm taking off to visit the place my boyfriend treasures the most: his aunt's summer cottage. I've seen some pictures from the place and heard even more stories about it. It will be exciting to see that place with my very own eyes. After all, he has already seen the place I treasure the most, my family's summer cottage.

So for the next 5 days I'm out of here. I know that many people build these days these modern summer cottages with internet access, but this one isn't one of them. And to be honest, I prefer it that way. It will be relaxing to spend few days away from everything...

Getting from place A to B can be bit of an adventure when you don't have a car. This time the journey will be on a bus; we have to switch bus at Viitasaari (which is, interestingly, the same city where my summer cottage is!). Still we're already at Pielavesi around 3pm, so it's not too bad. And I'm the one who loves to travel! (Yes, you can hear from my mouth: can we drive some more? After one has already spent 4 hours in a car that day...)

On Sunday we're off to another city, Kiuruvesi. We'll meet there a lot of new people, all of them related to my boyfriend. Exciting or nerve-breaking? I'm going for exciting. I think it's wonderful that they will meet up to remember special lady, my boyfriend's grandmother, who would have turned 100 this year if she were still with us.

Summer 2007 means another convention for my clusterfamily. This time the family will meet up at Richmond, Virginia. And chey, I want to go! More than almost anything. I actually checked last night that getting to Richmond from Helsinki, Finland, would mean taking (according to expedia.co.uk) three flights (Helsinki-London, London-New York, New York-Richmond) and about 18 hours later I'd be there. Now that would be one adventure! =)

I do hope that it happends... Naturally, it's too soon to tell, but a woman can always hope, dream, plan - and start saving some money.
