Baaack.
Home from Abidjan. My frequent flyer account with Delta is looking pretty spiffy considering it was set up, what, last month? And even spiffier now that I've finally booked plane tickets to LA for Gallifrey One. Speaking of which, I have a room at Gally and no roommates, so if you need a room or know someone who needs a room, let me know. Bank account is also spiffy at the moment, about to be spiffier whenever I figure out how to submit expense reports for the trip, so I have no regrets about going on a rampage in the duty-free shop in De Gaulle and stocking up on duck rillettes, canned cassoulet, and other things not easily acquired in the US. (Fun experiences: going through US customs with "food and meat products" declared on your forms when coming in from west Africa.)
Almost done with s4 on the NuWho rewatch--through an unintentional stroke of good(?) timing, I ended up watching Midnight on the plane home. Uh. I make good life choices, really. I have been relentlessly spamming Tumblr with rewatch meta, which I should probably repost here at some point. Dratted fandom drift.
Strangely, spending a month in Côte d'Ivoire has not worn me out on travel at all; in fact, since I spent a lot of time cooped up in the hotel and the business district, I have this itch to dump my frequent flyer miles on somewhere with fabulous landscapes and spend a week outside going "holy fuck, this is my planet." Somewhere cold with fabulous landscapes. Iceland. Lapland. That ring-shaped crater lake in Québec. Bizarre Martian landscapes in Utah. Hell, gimme bizarre Martian landscapes and snow-capped volcanoes in the Canary Islands followed by snorkelling down on the shore, that'd be nice. I should probably save my money and get it out of my system with a weekend in the Blue Ridge Mountains, but--holy fuck, this is my planet.
ETA: Curse last-minute travel deal aggregators, I found $240 round-trip airfare to Bermuda for this weekend and I'm desperately trying to talk myself out of it. Yes, I know I said cold, but I also said snorkelling would be pretty fun, and I do have enough in the bank to get away with it, and--

Scotland is definitely on my long, long list of Places I Wanna Visit. I've never been anywhere in the UK outside of London, but next time I pass through I will definitely try to make it up there.
