Still to buy flights - opodo is promising some kind of monday special sale so holding off til then. But have booked the first hostel and contacted a couple of lannguage schools for quotes so does finally feel like it's all starting to have some basis in reality.
Went off last night to the Edinburgh Spanish-English group (9pm every Wednesday at the Cambridge Bar on Young Street just off Charlotte Square) - a great place to practice speaking and make new friends. Got chatting to a guy called Andre from Valencia who's been over here for 5 months to improve his language skills. He's a bullfighter back in Spain and will be going on a tour of Mexico next year - not a bad chat up line for his first trip to Latin America.
Meantime have been in touch with several friends from my last trip to Argentina and 2003 Spanish tour and am hoping to see them at a party in London next month which I'm sharing with my sister. Quite an effort to keep in touch with even a few of the old travel buddies but it's worth it for the surprise of an unexpected email in the inbox.
Have added a huge number of links to the site, added a counter and registered the blog with several blogging directories - hopefully my links will be of some use....
