No More Cellfor

So that's what real life is like, huh? I think I'll pass for a little while yet. . .

Finishing 4 months of work in a production lab (Cellfor) I have come to the conclusion that one summer is just about as much as I ever want to do. Don't get me wrong, it was a great temp position and the people I worked with were great, but the sheer repetitiveness was a bit much to take.

After finishing my last day (Aug. 31st), and with my car already packed, I headed straight to the ferry. A mere 4 hours later I was pulling up to the 'rents house for a quick 2 day visit before driving back to Vancouver to move Tyler into residence and see everyone from UBC.
As a bit of dumb luck the Arizona Wildcats were playing the T-birds my first night down - we finally made it to the gym at half-time and snuck in (no offence to UBC, but I don't really want to pay $15 to see the birds get torched, which they did).

A few more days of lounging, visiting and a trip to MEC (to pick-up some stuff for my trip) rounded out my weekend before heading home. Right now I think I've got all the financial details worked out for Europe, but am still waiting on the British Consulate to send my passport back along with my work visas. By the end of the week I plan on organizing what I'm actually going to bring with me, then attempt to fit it into my 70L bag . . . anyone have tips on how to pack light for a 2-year trip?
