Today is the last day before the craziness begins, so I thought I'd blog and give an overview of what's in store for the next few weeks&months - God-willing :)

Our production of Oliver begins on Tuesday 27th May, so this weekend has 2 rehearsals, then moving our set to the venue for our Tech rehearsal on Monday - whoa! I'm conducting the show and it's been a great experience with a wonderful cast, crew and orchestra.

Then, on Saturday, the day after the show finishes, I'm off to Central Asia (Kazakhstan & Kyrgyzstan) for 10 days with my colleague, Tim. I'll be seeing new places and meeting lots of Central Asia staff, who, until now, I've only known over email.

When I get back to Toronto (hopefully summer will really have arrived by then ;) ), I'll have some preparation for camp (where I'm teaching the F.I.C.S course at Leaders In Training) and a fun weekend with Natasha watching our favourite Shakespeare movies.

Then in the last week of June I'll move up to camp until the middle of August (with a quick trip to Ottawa for Canada Day :) ). I'm looking forward to LIT and to being back in the Muskokas.

On the 18th of August I fly to Italy (I've never got to say "I fly to Italy" before :) ) to meet up with Donna (from Sydney) and Jennifer (from Ireland). After some travel around Sorrento, Positano, Pompeii and the Amalfi coast we head to the UK for lots of Jane Austen-esque landscapes and castles (as well as seeing Spamalot in London :) ). Then, I'll be seeing Monique and Fred for a quick visit in Lyon, France.

I'll then be back for a couple of months of normality in Toronto for 'Fall' before I'm off to Sydney (via New York for a few days) for a good old Aussie summer, from mid-November to the end of January - yay!!!!!! I'll be back in Toronto after that (for hopefully the last bits of Winter) until June (back to Sydney then, for Mum's 70th (!!)).

It will then be decision time again. By June 2009 I need to figure out if the trip back to Aus is the big move back or just a visit. Hmmmmm.....we'll see.

I'll be blogging as much as possilbe and posting pix of these next steps, so stay tuned :)

xoxo Bec
