It's new!

First of all I want to wish everyone a very happy, healthy and wholesome 2017. Hope it will be a fantastic year for all of us. 

Personally there are a few things I have planned for this year. In only six weeks' time I will have a week's holiday (yes, again) and welcome two friends. Only one will be staying with me and even though there is overlap, their traveling dates are slightly different. It will be great fun though and we will have to see when and where we can meet up.

In a little over 5 months, I will be donning a wet suit, get on my bike and then run for a bit. Yes, I have signed up for this year's marathon triathlon. I thought I would have a bit more training time, but they moved the date from late August to early June. The good thing? My sister will be here to cheer me on and she will be roped in to be my water guard!

As I said, my sister will be here in June as well and we have some things planned. We had planned some big trip to the very North of Norway, but that is quite expensive and we would like to take another road trip (2018, England) as well, so our Norwegian outings will probably be a bit closer to home and/or cheaper. 

And the last thing that is on my planning board is Christmas. Yes, I know we have just said goodbye to Christmas and the New Year has only just started, but sometimes you have to be early. I invited both my parents and my sister over for the holidays this year and they all said yes. Which is great.

There are two more destinations that might happen as well: Edinburgh for a short break and London for a short break. Plus whatever else I can think of and have the money for.

Those are the plans so far. To be changed/added to as necessary.
