Circuitous ... Indirect

Things always happen for a reason.. But things don't always go in a direct path.. Life is a circuitous path to some finish line of life.

I post this because several things happened to me during my stay in Interlaken that wasn't according to plan.

First: The first night we got to Interlaken, Cherie and I went on a little hike and had Korean food for dinner. I was tired so I wanted to spend some time in the hammock room of our hostel. Cherie asked "Do you have the iPad?" I reach behind me in the hammock and say "No, but I have an iTouch" Closest thing to me actually pulling anything out of my butt!!!

Second: Cherie and I went PARAGLIDING over Interlaken! My instructor said "Jog, then you will feel a pull back, but ignore it and keep running." So we jog, the wind catches me back a little, then I no longer feel the ground as I keep trying to run off the hill.. (mountain)! It was so gorgeous and calm, even though the weather was unsatisfactory. I loved it. I wish I could just glide in the air all the time!!

Third: I got an interview with Media Plus Consulting on June 29th.. A day after I get back! And well.. If I pass the interview process I am back in Europe in August for GOOD!!!! Wish me luck! If I get it, those who wished me luck can come visit me! ;)

Fourth: we couldn't find a hostel, hotel, or anything in Geneva. So we had to stay another night in Interlaken.

Fifth: the extra night in Interlaken proved to be disastrous...

Five.A: We planned this German speaking countries tour to end on June 15th. We are finishing this trip on June 12th. Cherie and I had to figure out what we should do for those extra days.. We couldn't stay in Vienna for 3 extra days... So our solution. Change our flight from Bratislava to Paris to Memminghem to London! :) (Course I had to squeeze in my favorite city one more time!!

Five.B: I am laying in the bottom bunk trying to sleep and reassure myself that our plan is now set and fool proof.. I hear another girl come in and then what happens next is something you only hear in hostel horror stories! She slips trying to get up in her bunk above mine.. When I say slip, I really mean she fell back on the chair and sink at the foot of our bunk! I get up make sure she is okay.. Then she leaves the room. A few minutes later there's knocking on the door because she forgot her key to the room! I open it.. Crawl back into bed.. THENNNNN I hear that heaving sound you do when you are about to puke.. Yeah.. SHE PUKES and it dribbles onto my bed! THANK GOD I was coherent enough to move myself and my iPad away from the puke shower! Anyway the night receptionist cleans it up. Moves our mattresses and she give me 3.50 Swiss Francs for the troubles. I am just glad she didn't get it on me!

Moral of the story: I get to go back to my favorite city, Cherie gets to see London, and my iPad is still safe!

Now we are in Salzburg! Sound of Music and Mozart Balls! Wooooooo!
