Change of plans.

[jamjar]

So, the plan was to go back to the UK by train this summer- take the Trans-Siberian express, probably stop over in Mongolia, finish up in St Petersburg and then probably spend a little time in Finland with my Finnish rels.

Unforunately, my travelling partner has had to bail on me, so this is not going to happen. It's not really the sort of trip you want to make alone -safety issues aside, it's 7 days on a train minimum, so you'd need someone to talk to.

My family are going to the states at the beginning of August for a few weeks. They will probably not be there when I get back. They've already bought the tickets from when they (and I) thought I'd be taking the long way back. My older brother is moving to Sweden when he gets some money together for the ticket. I suspect he'll be there when I arrive in England.

I don't think my aunt's going to be in England either-- she'll be in Finland at the end of July/beginning of August, and then Germany towards the end.

I'm just really upset about this right now. It doesn't help that I could have prepared myself for it, maybe should have, when it was on, and then maybe off, and then on and then maybe off again and so on. I was really looking forward to this. I love travelling, and it would have been just something different.

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.

Ohh *arsebiscuits* - that's such a shame! - no wonder you're upset.

It probably doesn't help that it ties into a lot of things-- feeling sad about leaving, worried about going back. One of the factors in my decisions to go back this summer was that I'd be having this great trip back, and now it't not happening, it's just piling on top of everything...

That must be a really frustrating series of events. How deeply aggravating and disappointing. You have my sympathy.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

How long can you stay in Japan after your teaching visa expires? Because you are more than welcome to stay with me or probably Nicola, although that's not really much of an offer after St Petersburg, etc.

For a month after. I'll have to think about what I'm going to do.

Well, you're more than welcome to come to my place if you'd like to.

I'm sorry, I know I don't know you or anything -- I'm just a random reader and RPG friend of girl_starfish -- but I feel so badly for you, in regards to your plans falling through. I would hate to have something like this happen to me; especially since it sounds like it would be such a cool trip. And to finally be going home this summer . . . I'm just so sorry. I hope you can figure something out, and everything ends up okay.

Actually, the random sympathy helps a lot, so thank you for offering.

And I'll probably sort something out, when I've got my head together enough to think about it.
