December was one of those months I would like to forget, aside from a few days. It was a difficult month, but I’m happy that January is turning out differently.
I am feeling much better than last month. I often get cabin fever, SAD or whatever at this time of year, but I’ve felt great. Aside from the occasional headache, cough or sniffle trying to take hold of me, I’ve felt really good. With all the microbes on the prowl at this time of year, that could easily change. *knock on wood*
I am feeling productive and on top of my work too, which is always a good thing. I’ve got enough to keep me busy and work on some side SEO projects. I could always use more, and I’m sure that I’ll eventually add more to the mix.
Travel plans
I’ve been able to get in contact on Facebook with some of my family from Belgium, and that has been really nice. To go from never having talked to them to being in contact is great. I’m hoping to brush up on my French before I make a trip to Belgium later this year.
I’m thinking I would like to travel this summer, so I’ve been doing some budgeting. I am also planning on contacting a travel agent to get some advice on airports, deals, etc.
On that note, my wife pointed out a new Air Canada Escape Pass promotion. I haven’t called them because the deal timeline falls outside of my travel window. It looks like a good deal, but I’m worried about the fine print. It doesn’t mention whether fuel surcharges and ALL taxes are included. That pretty much doubles flight prices, so if that’s not included, it’s not such a hot deal, in my opinion. What do you think?
Contacting family – any thoughts?
Here’s where I wouldn’t mind some advice. I haven’t been in contact with my father or any relatives on that side of the family. I believe I may have located at least one of my two half-sisters.
How would you suggest getting in touch with my family? Have you got any experience in this kind of thing?
I’ve refrained from sending out a random message in Facebook, particularly if I am not sure who they are and especially if they don’t know about me at all.
On another note, most of my travel will likely be in Belgium, though I was thinking of going to Paris and Amsterdam for a few days. What would you suggest for places to go in Belgium, Amsterdam and Paris?
