Yup. I'll be leaving this room, this campus, and my laptop behind shortly (well, in just under two hours) to head to the train station from whence I shall commence my journey into the country of the Gaels - Wales! I shall be headed to the lovely Aberystwyth and hopefully will be able to see many of the sights!

Aberystwyth is sort of in the middle on the left hand side there, just under the giant "Wales" bit. You should be able to click on the map to enlarge it if you're really interested.

I bought hiking boots a while ago, so hopefully we will, in fact, be able to "climb" Snowdon (it's more like walking up a really giant hill on some of the easier trails, so there will be no picks or ropes involved...).

As mentioned, the laptop is being left behind (unfortunately some school books are coming with me - I can't spend 5 hours on the train and not do SOME work, I'd just feel ridiculously guilty), and I'm not sure what sort of access L has to the internet at home, so there may be no posting until Monday or so. There will be photos and such at that time as well.

Take care, all, and I'll see you on Monday!
