Future plans

So... I have exactly three months left before my work visa expires, and I go back to Canada permanently or not. Therefore I have to figure out what there is I have left that I absolutely must do.
There are many places left in the Netherlands I would like to see. I want to visit the north; Groningen and maybe the Frisian Islands, to the east to visit Arnhem and Nijmegan; to the south to see Maastricht; and finally to Zeeland. So, many places left to visit. Also, there are still museums in Rotterdam and Amsterdam I would like to visit. I would like to go to a Feyenoord game. Not because I have an overwhelming love of football, but mostly because it´s something I would like to say that I´ve done.
Also, I´m planning on going travelling my last month in Europe. I´m thinking of a tour across northern Europe. I´d like to see the places where my ancestors came from. That means I´d like to visit the Ă…land Islands in Finland, the Dalarna region of Sweden, the Hedmark region of Norway and finally southern Ireland around Cork. There´s some other places i´ll probably stop by too. Helsinki and Oulu in Finland to visit friends. Stockholm, Oslo and Dublin just because it´s nice to see capital cities. I still have lots of planning to do, but I´m very excited about the prospect.
Do I have the time left to accomplish all these goals? And try and find anther job in Holland, or back in Canada?
Any of my loyal readers want to join me on any of these trips? It´s always more fun to travel with friends.

Since I am not familiar with the Netherlands, I don't think I can offer much advice.

But I will make a plug for you returning to Canada for work ... I know Europe is so cool and all, but we miss you back home, too!

Your travel blog is great, though; I've been following your adventures and I think the "How the Dutch handle the water" post was the ultimate for me.

Cheers!
