Long-range, castle-in-air travel planning
I already blogged about planning to submit a talk proposal for a conference in Belgium next May. Not long after that, it occurred to me that I’ve also been wanting for ages to go to the Pratt Institute School of Library and Information Science’s summer institute in Florence. Which, if they offer it again next summer and it’s around the same time of year, would be shortly after the conference in Ghent. Either would be a completely fabulous reason to travel; I’m thinking about applying for both, if I can swing it.
Of course, all of this is contingent on a billion factors, including how much time I can take off to go gallivanting around Europe, whether I get accepted as a conference speaker and/or summer institute student, whether Drexel would apply the Pratt course as a credit toward my MSLIS, and how fast I can save money, because European travel ain’t cheap, even if I were to youth-hostel it all the way from Ghent to Florence.
But still: if I can manage either, I’ll be ecstatic. If any of you have ideas for the budget-conscious Eurotraveler, please feel free to chime in!
