July Through October

For quite some time, I'd not been getting out of bed until eight o'clock. Now, however, I've got to be up earlier. Beginning yesterday, I'm in a classroom at 8:30 am. It was actually quite enjoyable getting back at BCIT again. This time I'm not working with my usual level. I went down a course. I've not taught COMM 0003 since 2004. It is, however, shaping up to be a nice change of pace. The course takes place on only 21 mornings. This allows it to finish on the last day of this month.

Then, I definitely have all of August free, as courses I teach don't take place then. Also, I've not been teaching during the September start for a number of years now. To us, the months of September and October are an excellent time for travelling. The weather is still great in most places, and there are far fewer annoying tourists running around after the school year has started. Here are some of the autumn trips of recent years. All have occurred since the blog was active. So, you could even go back to my eJournal and images vault and locate entries written on the road.

2004 - Sri Lanka/Singapore

2005 - Europe (Amsterdam/Brussels/Frankfurt/Luxembourg/Paris/London)

2006 - Sri Lanka/Hong Kong

2007 - Europe (Germany/Hungary/Slovak/Czech./Austria/Switzerland)

At this point, an all-Italy tour is still on the burner for this fall. Things are still open as we have no reservations nor have we bought any tickets yet.
