Tired, a bit

I’m a little bit tired, but satisfied: today I finally found an apartment here in Luxembourg, slightly more expensive than expected, but really nice, comfortable, and spacious.
I’ll therefore be able to host 3-4 friends at the same time. If you know me, and know that I’d gladly host you (which is true for about 3.1 billion people on the planet, I let you guess who they are :-D), let me know. I’m around A LOT, but when I’m here, I love to have company!

The last few days I’ve been traveling a lot, and tomorrow I’m going to Seattle (through Frankfurt (3 hours by train), and London). I’ll spend two weeks in Seattle, one in Portland where I’ll attend OSCON, then four days in Iceland, and then back in Luxembourg for only two days. I’ll then get back in my old country for some days, working from there.
I will meet my parents, grandparents, friends alltogether. It will be good!

Airlines wars

Yesterday I was trying to book some flights for my june and july trips: Copenhagen (Denmark), Tallinn (Estonia), London (UK), Seattle (WA, USA) and Portland (OR, USA) (which is a very nice city, full of nice women and good italian restaurants such as Piazza Italia), and finally Reykjavík (Iceland). As you may guess, it is not an easy trip to book.
I first tried with multiple one-way trips, and the total was close to five thousand dollars. Oh, gosh. I can’t really spend so much money.
I then decided to turn on my seventeen brain cells all at once, and they produced this wonderful powerful graph, which gained me roughly the same trips, with HALF THE PRICE.

Well, I still have to book some hotels, but I’m happy I was able to save so much money. Yup!
By the way, you can always check where I’m going on my DOPPLR page. It’s a cool site, try it for yourself.
