It's Year of the... Sheep? Ram? Goat? First update for '15!
10 years ago
Seems like my Zebra pony didn't spend enough time out and about during Year of the Horse last year (2014), to really "cash in" on the theme... got him just a tad late...
Oh well, there's always the next one in 12 year's time!
For now, Happy Chinese New Years! The year of the... sheep? ram? goat? Depends on who you ask, but as I don't have any of the aforementioned-themed character, a horny little gazelle will have to do:

What will 2015 bring in terms of travelling for this kitty/pony/gazelle?
Planning/plotting actually began towards the end of last year, to take advantage of all the early-bird specials and sale. With my leave request put though, approved and confirmed this week, means....
1) FurDU (Gold Coast, Australia) - First weekend of May
Flights, accommodation/hotel and con registration all fully paid for. Have been attending this for the past 2 years, and looks to become one of my regular event.
Right now don't have a roommate yet, and are open to having one. Definitely keen to catch up with old pals and meet new ones I've been chatting online with since.
2) ConFuzzled (Birmingham, UK) - 4th (or 2nd to last) weekend of May
During EuroFurence last year, a lot of people said I should make it to CFz. At that point in time it was merely a "would be nice one day" thought, well, guess this year is as good a time as any!
Flights, accommodation/hotel and con registration all fully paid for, so barring any really-unforeseen-circumstances, will be in the UK for week and a half. Already got nabbed by a fellow Sneppid as roommate, but definitely say hi, snuggle, and let me know/drag me away to all the fun parties!
3) EuroFurence (Berlin, Germany) - 4th (or 2nd to last) weekend of August
Half the flight segments (AKL-LAX return, e.g. half way) and con registration paid for, hotel room/roommate sorted (with a backup plan in place), so I'd say ~60% there. Worst case scenario, this will turn into an impromptu US trip instead if I couldn't get a reasonably priced flight from LAX (States) over to Berlin (Germany).
Actually didn't think I'd be making a revisit so soon, guess I have some unfinished business there at EF.
This time round, those found out too late that I was going last year... well here's your chance again to meet up and have some fun! Definitely don't be shy and grab my attention! ;)
That's all the planned trips for now, with the option of making another visit closer to year's end. MwFF is a remote possibility depending on how my current work and finances go in a few months time.
Speaking of travelling, have also been playing around with a site called OpenFlights.org, rather interesting breakdown of all the flight's I've taken since keeping records ~10 years ago:

That's it for now! If you happen to be also going to the 3 cons/events listed above, do drop me a message and let me know! =^_^=
