Well, I found out last week that I'm not going back to Uganda. Only slightly a bummer, but a bummer nonetheless. But never fear, loyal readers - this does not mean the end of my traveling exploits! Because there will never be an end to my traveling exploits. It will just mean a new location for them to happen.
And what other corner of the world could be appropriate for exploits than Amsterdam?!
So, on February 21st, I will be jetting off again, this time bound for Schiphol Airport Amsterdam, then to Tilburg, where I will be visiting my good friends Norma and Rick. There I will be spending about a week and a half doing all things Dutch - like bicycling everywhere, waxing philosophical about Rembrandt and Van Gogh, eating cheese, wearing wooden shoes (okay, maybe not). Oh, and of course there is Carnival in Tilburg. Would.Not.Miss.It.
It's a significantly shorter trip than Uganda, and I can almost guarantee I will not experience an earthquake or be chased by an elephant while I am there, but it will be an exciting trip, regardless. Especially if I get to keep talking about amsterDAM and emphasizing the DAM part like we all did when we were kids so that if we got yelled at for cussing, we could just say that we were simply boning up on our geography. :-)
So tune in next month...
