10 NOV 2008: Quick update...

Just a quick update. I'm getting ready to head off to Italy on Wednesday. The couchsurfing thing didn't work out which really sucks since this will be my first foray into a totally non-English speaking country. I did, however, find the right clubs to go to in Rome, which is good. I'm sure I'll manage.

The basic outline is to spend a bit of time in Rome and then head further south for the winter. Once I get tired of Italy, I'll hop over to Greece, and then when I have to leave Schengen, to Turkey. I'm looking to spend as much time as I can in the East, where my re-settlement opportunities are better and the money goes farther.

On Wednesday, Paul is giving me a ride to Cork (where my flights leaves from) and as long as nothing utterly horrible happens, I shouldn't be back to Ireland until the Spring at the earliest.

The next blog post should be from Rome, Italy.

Not to mention it is MUCH warmer there. The formula for converting celsius is
T x 2 + 32 (where T is the celsius temperature). So here in Ireland it is averaging about 9 [7 x 2 = 14 + 32 = 46F] whereas in Rome it is averaging 18 [18 x 2 = 36 + 32 = 68F].
