"It's an anywhere road for anybody anyhow." -- Jack Kerouac, On The Road
Here I am: sitting uncomfortably in the Dusseldorf airport, waiting for the connecting flight that will take me to Saint Petersburg and on to my next great adventure. My left shoulder, which decided over a week ago to be constantly, achingly sore, is immensely displeased with my decision to put it on a long trans-Atlantic flight and make it carry a heavy bag. I'm crossing my fingers that it will heal - and quickly! - because there will be quite a few more bags and planes over the next few weeks and I can't afford to have my shoulder threatening mutiny every step of the way.
The schedule for this latest undertaking, as with The Great World Tour of '09, is not set in stone. Our tentative plan is to spend a week in Saint Petersburg, which will be nice since I didn't get to see much of it last time, followed by two weeks of traveling wherever we please. At the moment, the trip will be:
St. Petersburg, Russia
Odessa, Ukraine
Copenhagen, Denmark
Amsterdam, the Netherlands
Barcelona, Spain
Only three weeks this time, but still not too shabby! ;)
My 2010 voyage began with an amazing final day in New York: a free 1.5 hour massage from a Burner friend, meeting Eddie Izzard after sitting front row, center to see him in Mamet's "Race" on Broadway, and, of course, free farewell drinks at Keybar with the nearest and dearest.
Any trip that begins so auspiciously is bound to be a good one!
