I spent some time today trying to book my plane ticket to go home in June. For some reason the travel agency that I used last time just isn't answering their phones today. I also remember hearing something about Air Canada going under...again. They are the only ones that fly out of Kingston. I could drive to Toronto and fly with a different company from there, but driving 3 hours after a flight would really suck. That is, of course, IF I come back. I will. I enjoy this place more and more every day. I still think of this like a cool 8 month vacation in Kingston where I have a good job to pay for my stuff while I'm here. Would you vacation in Kingston though? For 8 months? That made me start thinking of my next term...where do I want to vacation next?

I think Costa Rica would be a good one. I've already found a site that talks about an internship program down there to bring in engineers, doctors, accountants and other educated people from other countries. Just imagine if I could get a job helping to fix the highways near Tan Marindo or even just an office job in the capital, San Jose. I'm sure they're working on new hydroelectric dams and power stations, or maybe better agricultural equipment for their banana and papaya plantations. I could live near Fortuna and the plantations there and mountain bike on weekends. It would be the perfect time of year to go too. The rainy season ends in December/January and everything would be lush and green. I doubt any job I get there would pay very well, but that wouldn't matter. If I don't do this for my next term I might do it when I graduate. Just take off to some part of the world with only my suitcase and hockey stick and work for two years. Yes, that's what I'll do, who's with me?
