Ok, I'm back to the mundane for real this time. Well, at least until January, that is... ;)
Since my last post, several friends and I went on a spur-of-the-moment camping trip to Waipoua Forest, then ended up spending a few days at The Tree House with some other meditators from the last Vipassana course. We got back to Dhamma Medini just in time for the 3-Day course. I've pretty much been offline in meditation courses for about a month and a half. A very profound month and a half...
My New Zealand visitor's visa expires in 9 days. As soon as I began traveling here back in January, I realized I wanted to stay as long as they'd let me. Thus, I'm flying out in 8 days! Here's my itinerary; I'm aiming at being home in time for Thanksgiving:
25/10/2002, Qantas Flight #120, depart Auckland 16:40, arrive Sydney 17:05
1/11/2002, Qantas Flight #3, depart Sydney 10:50, arrive Honolulu 31/10/2002, 23:10
8/11/2002, Qantas Flight #3255, depart Honolulu 14:30, arrive Los Angeles 21:42
I won't be home for long though, as I have to head over to London in early December for a job interview.
