The date is set.

Got the ticket. Ticket, singular, mind You, a one-way ticket to SSH on April 28th.
Cool. Scary. Thing.

As for diving, well, there was the divemeet last weekend. Very nice! Some of my best friends there, a cool Yoga seminar on Saturday, led by Andreas. Then Saturday night with my friends and very nice Sunday morning diving. And now for another week at work. A short one, with Easter coming up. Just have to decide what to do with the long weekend.

Preparation galore!

Well, here it goes. The blog on Sanso's trip out into the world.

Much of the preparation, like health insurance and visa, has proven easier than expected but - as if to make up for that - I found that I'm not as uprooted as I expected. There are a lot of people around here that I'm going to miss quite a bit. And even though there are things like H323, Jabber and all that, it sometimes feels like a very big step to just boil down my belongings into a couple of boxes, a backpack and a divebag, say farewell to everyone and head out there.

At least by now the first leg of the journey is fairly well defined. Some time in the first week(s?) of May, I'll be heading to Dahab, probably for the duration of this year's freediving season there. After that? Currently I'm thinking of travelling, but a lot of things will have happened by then, lots of entropy and glitches in time and space.

Let's see what this turns out to be.
