Okay, it is time for me to share my complete travel plan I think. The
places have been sort of in flux, and I'm not 100% certain of the order
in which I'll do things. But this is the rudimentary plan. But I got a
break down of all the major places I plan to visit at least.
The times behind each item listen are when I plan to hit that spot.

The Adventure begins!
Grums, Sweden (20th of November)
This
is the place where the whole world starts. Or is it ends? Who knows. I
will visit a friend I made many years ago at a festival. A really
awesome and creative person named Dan, or "Danne" for short. Together he
and I will make some songs, chill out and I will learn all there is to
know about the backside of Sweden.
Gothenburg, Sweden (23th-25th of November)
Here
I will meet up with friends from the Swedish equivalent of High School.
My good friends Erik and Elin. If I get the chance I will also meet up
with Oscar, an old co-worker and friend of mine, and his girlfriend Mia.
Of course, I will also meet up with my beloved brother Tobias and his
girlfriend Veronica. I will also celebrate my birthday here.
Fyn, Denmark (1st of December)
Here
I will meet up with an internet friend of mine called Andreas.We met over a medium called "Second Life", which is more or less
a 3D chat. Remember that, because I will be mentioning it a lot.
Antwerp, Belgium (3rd of December)
Here
I will meet up with a friend I've known for a very long time though the
internet. Bart. We first met on HavenMUSH many, many years ago. An old
text-based chat in Celtic theme, made by a good friend of mine. With any
luck we'll go to a Trappist brewery and see monks do what they do best.
Beer!
Kerkrade, Netherlands (6th of December)
Here
I will meet up with one of my newest Second Life friends, Tim. This is a
really awesome person who is just about to undertake the adventure of
transforming her body from the male one she was born with, to the female
one she really always wanted. Also, I've been promised alfa beer!
Amsterdam, Netherlands (13th-16th of December)
Here
I will visit a friend, who's real name I don't really know yet. Sort of
funny, but that's how things tend to go when on the internet. A thing
such as a real name does not really matter all that very much. She and I
will however make Amsterdam unsafe and have a good time together.
Though, this is not confirmed, since I've not seen her online for a few
weeks to make sure everything works fine. If we do meet up, she and I
will however take a weekend trip to...
London, England ( 14th-17th of December)
Where
we will do all sorts of strange shopping and looking around. If things
go to plan, we will spend a few days here and then head back to the
mainland.
Berlin, Germany (19th-21st of December)
I
will spend a few days on my lonesome here in Berlin for the heck of it.
I really enjoyed this place when I was here during the summer with my
family. Never the less, I couldn't help but to wonder what it would be
like to just be here on my own without the need for calling early nights
due to the hotel being far outside the city and the like.
Key West, Florida, USA (24th of December)
This
is another spot I go to only for myself. The flight ticket is already
booked, and if all goes to plan, I will take a Greyhound from Miami
Airport to Key West the same day I land to live in a hostel down in Key
West. I will spend a few long days there, and plan to spend New Year's
eve in this place.
Fort Pierce, Florida, USA (2nd of January)
Here
I will meet up with a good friend form the old Haven-days (that
text-based place, remember?). She and I was really buddy-buddy back in
the days, and despite breaks and hiatuses in our friendship, she is a
very dear friend to me. I will be living with her and her girlfriend for
a few days. And if all goes to plan, we might even be able to head to
Disney World together. That idea is pending a bit though.
Atlanta, Georgia, USA
Here
I will meet up with an old Second Life friend of mine called Kathryn.
What we will actually do and what will happen is yet to be decided
properly. But we will do something fun. I will also meet up with another
good friend (and customer) of mine I know as Eshe. Another one of those
persons I'm not sure of the real name of. But, what the heck. She
promised me she would go to the store and buy Twinkies for me, now that
they have filed for bankruptcy. After all, I've read about Twinkies in
about every single Stephen King book I've read, and I MUST try them!
New York, New York, USA
Here
I will meet up with my oldest still continuous Second Life friend. Her
name is Astoria, the perfect picture of a New Yorker. She will show me what New York is all about and let me at that
famous New York pizza which every New Yorker claims to be the best in
the world. I still bet it got nothing on our Swedish Super Kebab Pizzas.
Milford, New Hampshire, USA
I
am still a bit uncertain about this place. It is a bit out of the way
form my other destinations. And travel will most probably be by plane
though the states. But if time is not all that awful I will try to
squeeze this place in. Here lives a friend and ex-Second Life girlfriend
of mine, whom I'd gladly want to visit.
Columbus, Ohio, USA
Here
I will visit a good friend from the Haven days. Their name is Kat. My
visit here will be quite brief, and our meeting will probably be the one
of a cup of coffee or dinner or something of the like. Kat seemed a bit
reluctant at my to meet up, but I'm really happy they agreed to, sine
they're one of the persons who have made an impact on my life.
Chicago, Illinois, USA
Here
I will meet up with a new internet friend of mine named Dana. She and I
will have all sorts of adventures. She plans to show me strange places
where she lives (like a Swedish themed restaurant!). Also, if possible, I
will appear on Chic-a-go-go which is a public-access television show in
Chicago where random people dress up in silly costumes and dance. I'm a
bit scared of this part. And, if possible, Dana and I will rent a cozy
log cabin and just chill for a day or so.
San Diego, California, USA
So much to do here! So much to do. Here I will meet up with Necron, a
really good friend of mine whom I met though Second Life. He will also
house me for a few days while here. Together we will go to "Das Bunker"
which apparently is "the hot shit" when it comes to industrial music.
Also, I will meet up with another one of my second life exes, Talina.
She have planned to take me and Necron out to Palomar Mountain for
random fun in a cabin/house there. Not quite sure about the details. We
must not forget Adam, whom I will also meet here. I am a bit nervous
about meeting him though. He is friends with both Necron and Talina but
knows me as a female online. Aww well, I'm sure it'll be okay.
San Francisco, California, USA
I
will make sure to wear some flowers in my hair when going here. I come
here to meet up with another good friend (and client) of mine called
Brianna and her husband. Where I will be staying is in a bit of a flux.
They do have a guest room, but I'm not sure I can and want to impose. If
that doesn't work out I will stay in a hostel/hotel provided by
Brianna's best friend. A best friend who is into modelling and whom
Annie wants to hook me up with. Let's see how it goes, if The Shy Viking
will dare to date The Model. Adventure!
Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada
Over
the border! Over to visit another good friend from the Haven Days,
Robyn. She lives in some sort of strange collective. I'm really curious
to see what is happening and going on there. As well as getting to know
Robyn better. She and I have not spoken in a long while, but she's an
awesome person.
Rossland, British Columbia, Canada
Here
I will visit my oldest still continuous internet friend. We've known
each other online since further back in time I can remember. His name is
Roger, and while I'm not certain what we will do once I hit Rossland,
I'm certain we'll have a blast of a time.
So, this
is my current plan. If I'm passing by a place where you happen to be
near, do not hesitate to ask me to visit. I'd love to meet up with
friends. Old and new. Heck, even friends in waiting (aka, perfect
strangers).
