Well, my father finally made to call to the airlines today and it turns out that International flights fill up fast especially when your not paying. I the airlines only allows a certain amount of Miles users on a flight and they were booked up well into July. In addition, the miles that we had were only enough for 2 people which would have been ok if we could have gotten the dates that we needed. Considering that the guys and I need to get jobs for the summer, taking a 2 week break in the middle of the summer doesn't really appeal to a employer.
So, that means no Scotland, no West Highland Way, no highlands, no scotch, no nothing. However, I'm doing my best to stay optimistic. Maybe this is the perfect opportunity to revisit my White Mountains trip. Being a little older and wiser maybe a second glance with a wiser eye will make for a better planned trip. I guess I can't complain, at least now I have a completely planned out trip waiting for me next summer. If I have the cash you can bet that's where I'm gonna be next EARLY JUNE before the midges come out.
I don't know what this means for the blog though. I'll keep it going for now, especially if I get a trip together for this summer. We'll see, having those two weeks free will give me a much better chance of landing a job at the Scout Camp. I don't know what the future holds for me but I know that tomorrow is another day and every day is different and there is nothing we can do about it. So for now I won't waste time worrying about it.
Back to the drawing board. Long Trail section hike? AT section hike? Heading West? South? Who knows I'm sure it will all work out for the best in the end.
Until then catch ya on the flip side.
