Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. ~ Mark Twain

I survived my first week of work. I’ve accepted a six month contract with Price Waterhouse Coopers in the City (at Chancery Lane). I’ll be doing consultancy work for an energy company, and interestingly enough, working on a piece of software that estimates how much it costs to send employees on assignments to other countries.

It’s a bit sad to be leaving HSBC, but in the end, working with people a few thousand miles away does get pretty lonely. I’m leaving behind an extremely talented team, a great bunch of people, and IMHO the finest online trading site in Canadian brokerage! :) I hope one day we’ll work together again.

As for our cruise, it was brilliant! I can’t say enough good things about Holland America… or Mel’s mum for taking us! Our first time cruising and I guess we’ve been quite spoiled. For ports of call, we visited Rome, Vatican City, Monte Carlo, Florence, Pisa, Palma de Mallorca, Barcelona, Tunisia, Sicily and Naples. A lot of sites to see in 10 days.

It’s nice to be home though, even if it still feels like we’re onboard a ship. Glad I didn’t get pulled over in the first few days back because I couldn’t have managed to walk in a straight line! Nothing like good old terra firma, yeah?
