Here we go again...

It's time again - to go on a trip. This time I'm heading for Sri Lanka. It is the third time I have booked this trip, but the two previous times I had to cancel the trip. First time 2010 due to work, second time 2011 due to that Lufthansa didn't have any flights there and I was planning the trip around the world with Lufthansa. Now I'm hoping that the third time is a charm.

It is a 15 day roundtrip. You can find the trip itinerary here: http://www.intrepidtravel.com/sri-lanka/circle-sri-lanka-49331/itinerary
The trip consist of quite a lot of activities including hiking, but it is not hiking trip. It is actually more biking. But there is a 2 day hike included. :-) Love that!

I have one issue though. I'm training for a half marathon. According to my training program I need to exercise at least 3 times a week. I don't know how to fit that in to the schedule of the trip. The transports around the island take a lot of time. So how do I fit my exercises between all activities and transports? I just have to wait and see if I can work around it. It will also be hot and humid. Not the best condition to run in. But still - I have to give it a go.

I'm flying with Qatar for the first time. I've heard a lot of good things about them. I hope they will live up to my expectations. But it will be the first time in years I'm flying without the privileges that I have with my Senator/Golden card at Lufthansa. I will miss it dearly. I love the possibility to use the lounges.  They are usually quite peaceful with a lot of good food and drinks. And while traveling it is so nice to have some quiet moments in between.

So tag along with me on the trip. I think it will be a blast! Hopefully I will find wi-fi at most places we stay at.

Happy Easter Everybody!
