Sep 2006

So I will have been back in Montreal 5 months to the day! I'll be heading back to Cuba for a vacation on October 14th. It'll only be for two weeks, then back to Montreal for two weeks, then off to Cancun (again) for a 1 week training.

I've gotten a job as a destination representative with Signature Vacations and I will be posted in Cuba. So after the 1 week in Cancun, I should go to Cuba, either straight away or I might come to Montreal first. Then I'll be in Cuba (don't know where exactly yet) for a 6 month contract.

I've quit the job that I had gotten upon my return. I finish work in a week and a half. I never did get an apartment when I came back. I guess I always knew I wouldn't be staying long. And then when I got the job as a destination rep I knew I wouldn't be settling down in Montreal agai, at least not for a while. I've sold or traded my furniture. I have a few bags and suitcases to my name and of course, my bike, which I will be bringing with me. That's it. Quite liberating let me tell you. My friends and family are still great. I think it's a bit easier on them this time around. They've had practice with my leaving. And I think they realize that life in Montreal is no longer appealing to me. I'm thinking I'd like to try Italy. I don't kow why but I'm fixated on Italy. I think I'd like it there and I think I'd fit in (although I've never been so rerally have no clue!)

It's funny how life changes. The adventure down this road began 1 year ago with my first trip to Cuba. At the time, although I knew I was starting to feel disenchanted with life in Montreal, I didn't know to what extent. And I could never have predicted where things would lead, how much my life would change. I am now embarking on a new career, in a new country, with a new love. It's all very exciting.

I will try to update my blog after my vacation and then once I'm back in Cuba working. Hasta pronto chicas y chicos
