Do I book a room in the official hotel now, even though we won't be sure for some time whether Jason can come with me or not (or, indeed whether I can make it, but I tend towards the selling-a-kidney end of the spectrum on that subject), book a definitely easily refundable room in one of the alternate hotels, or wait till I get my shit together? It feels to me like the official hotel will sell out soon.
The big question is, will I be missing out by not staying in the official hotel? We really felt like we did in Montreal, even though our hotel was about 2 blocks from the official hotel and in fact closer to the venue than the official hotel.
Or should I get my shit together?
(I'm not even sure if I can book flights yet.)
Should definitely buy event tickets anyhoo.
My colon ties itself in knots every time I think about checking the exchange rate, so I have no idea how relatively rich or poor I am at the moment.
I accept that I will never see the sort of exchange rate like we did last time ever again. Radio 4 tells me every morning that going to Europe this year is out of the question, though I understand the US rate may have picked up in my favour.
Jeebus. If I wanted to live in a country with a third-world currency that prevented me ever leaving, I'd still live in Canada where the only other third-world condition I'd have to deal with is the immigration queue at Pearson.
