What next?

When I left Vancouver a year ago I was determined not to return unless I was financially broke. I'm close, much too close to that. And I had to already make some decisions because of it. I am here in Romania to see my mother and sister and also to prolongue my vacation a bit. It's also the best Bed&Breakfast deal, I discovered. However, since I can't behave like a complete parasite I make up by doing things around the house: digging, weeding, planting, cleaning and fixing. The best part of all this is the fact that all these things require physical effort.

The one place I still want to see before returning is Petra and the desert in Jordan. I've had with me for months now the magazine pages detailing out an 8 day trek around Petra. The time has come for it. July and August were too hot. If I'm lucky and get the Syrian visa I'll not just see Jordan but also Damascus in Syria and then return overland to Romania.
First, I'm flying to Cairo where I pick up my pack with all the trekking gear. From there via bus, ferry, bus and possibly camel I'll make my way to Petra.

When am I coming/going back to Canada? After this last adventure. I do not have a deadline but I'd love to catch some skiing and snow-camping this winter. I missed that.
