Sorry for the delay in part two of the Britain trip.  Had to do too many things the last few weeks, plus my paid LJ expired.  I'm going to try going it for awhile without re-upping because, well...LJ's sorta shit nowadays.  Don't really feel like investing any sort of money in it unless I have to ( Read more... )

On Sunday, May 26, I embarked on my longest and furthest vacation stretch ever.  Vacationing in Great Britain has been high on my list of "want to do" things for quite some time, but never really became a reality because of either monetary cost or vacation time expense.  This year I managed to align everything just right and was also able to ( Read more... )

I took a half day off from work Thursday to head to Reno for the opening of Biggest Little FurCon.  No fursuits, no extra paraphernalia, just me and an overnight bag.  Ok, I brought a cooler with some beer, sue me! Sheesh ( Read more... )

After my purchase of trip insurance this afternoon, I would have to say we are mostly sorted and ready for the longest vacation I have taken since my childhood.  Lots of tucking and sorting needed to be done to this itinerary, but I think it's mostly set, yet will allow for some flexibility for some limited changes on the fly if necessary.  Many ( Read more... )

Sorry most of y'all, but while it seems like the rest of the world is getting drilled hard by winter, it's been nothing but spring-like here since about the middle of January.  Looking ahead, the rest of the week looks like the weather's only going to get better ( Read more... )
