best laid plans

I am heading to menorca, after an unexpected interlude in Berlin and another shorter one in Barcelona. It seems that trips require at least some forethought for plans to be laid in their strongest and most likely to not not work. My previous rock solid plans of becoming an edinburghian have slipped south a bit as I met some londoners who know someone who works in a pub. A rather long shot but I may be checking it out if I can find suitable (Cheap) accommodation in the London Locale.
So far, as the mainland europe saga of this epic draws to a close, I conclude that I am not good at this travelling business. I need more structure to get the most out of where ever I happen to be, research to give the structure purpose and at least 2 extra ears so I can boast of my research and plans and be heard. Also next time I must try to cover less distance, as my method of travel (whimsical fancy) does not accommodate my want to spend a week minimum in one place, as it tends to be expensive when you book transport the day before.
My next stop (could possibly) will be (after the GURU IN UK series) eastern africa. That will be sickmad, as I will take the lessons learnt in this, sometimes regrettable episode and make the next one even more fantastical then possibly imaginable by a human person.

More soon, I must arrange, organise and set straight, travel, acquire appropriate lodging and begin the wind down from travelers disorganisation to workers general disorganisation.
