Encounters

And no, I don't mean the kind with aliens or ghosts. I mean those moments you have which (for no apparent reason) stick in your memory for days. Particularly incidental conversations with randoms. For some reason these type of encounters are happening more and more for me recently.
I must need to get out more. Maybe I need to stop talking to randoms.

Cycling in Italy

I highly recommend it.

So many stories, but strangely I don't feel like detailing them in great length online. Instead I want to go out and experience more of it. I'm tryiing to plan a trip to NZ do do a little skiing and catch Rally NZ. We'll see how that pans out.
Also on my list are a trip to Japan and a trip touring around the south island in NZ. Both are on hold until I find a traveling partner, as while I do enjoy doing things on my own, it doesn't count unless you share experiences with others.

Also, I'd love to go back to Europe next year to see a few more rally events and being immersed in that culture again. Particularly Sardinia was just so good. Still makes me smile.

And no Morgan, I don't need puppies. I don't need them on multiple levels. :p
