Logistics

I am one of those person who need a logistics planner. I am not sure how I make it, but more often than I can recall, I find myself in situations in which I need to travel twice over an ocean in under a week, and handle with the jetlag while moving on with life.
Vacation is one of the times when this happens. And then there is also work.
In the past 2 weeks I have been to 5 countries. Next week I will go home, to Colombia, for 10 days. And then, uon my return, it will be time to continue with travelling, and Warsaw and Neufra will be waiting for me. C'est la vie.
Now there is one more logistics planning requirement: R. & P.s wedding. It will be at the end of May. During the week I am planning to be in the US. Only problem: wedding is in the UK.
This means I will need to first go to Boston, vote, and then on the same day fly to the UK to the wedding, and then return to Boston for the rest of my vacation. Don't forget I onlz have one week vacation: lots of travelling and jetlag in a short period of time. Yes, this is my life like.
Many might wonder why I am inclined to put myself under so much stress. Well, truth is I feel honored by being invited to the wedding. And R. is a very special person for me. She has became a good friend for me, somebody I can trust, ask if she wants to do something over the weekend, or simply ask for advice. Me, asking for advice... Yes, she is such a person.
I will do my best, will try to arrange my logistics and be with her in the most important day of her life up to now. I want her to know how much I care.
Others (or the same) might wonder why I don't spend the rest of my vacation in the UK, and don't go back to Boston. Well, reason behind is another friend of mine. We might no be that close now, but in college she was my greatest support in the most dififcult times. It is her birthday, and even though she forgot mine two months ago, I want her to know I don't forget hers. I am planning on doing something special on her day with her boyfriend, doggy, and friends.
Friends are treasures, and each one of them deserves all sacrifices. At least this is how I see life.
C. says "OMG, was fuer ein Chaos! Und die ganze Welt ist wieder im Spiel".
Yes, it is like that. But friendship is stronger.

Although, I wuoldn't complain if I had a logistics planner! So much less to think about and organize!
