So, I managed to survive two weeks of spotty to no internet connection while away in London and Ireland. It feels a bit weird to be back to real life so soon (the flight got in yesterday at around supper hour). Aside from being a bit jet-lagged, it was a fantastic vacation. I even had the company of a stand-in dog for one leg of the trip. Starting next week I’ll be posting highlights but in the meantime I need a few days to put together notes and go through loads of photos.
