OK, so I've packed up way too much stuff (they tempted me with a huge baggage allowance) and I'm pretty much ready to go. We're driving to Sydney tomorrow morning and staying the night there before I fly out on Saturday morning. Since so many people ... Read more >

Home from Hiroshima, it was a tiring trip, too far to go for such a short time really, but that’s one more international event I can cross off my list. I left Friday morning, after not being able to sleep Thursday night so I was pretty tired. I got ... Read more >
