I get on a plane to U, S and A tomorrow to be reunited with Sarah and Wiesje. It’s been a lonely ten days, but I’ve got a lot done while I’ve been on my own, so it hasn’t been too bad.
I’m looking forward to getting back to my girls, although it has to be said that I don’t relish the thought of the flight. Not only am I jaded by all of the flying I’ve done in the last few years, but there’s nothing to see and very little to do on board, plus all of the hassle and restrictions before you even make it down the gangway. In short, I wish I were taking the train somewhere or, for that matter, even the car.
Anyway, after just one day with her folks, we head up to western Maine for some llama trekking at the Telemark Inn with my step-sister and her family. The lodge looks really nice and I’m sure it’s going to be a lot of fun. The children will all have a wonderful time, I’m sure.
At the end of our stay, we’ll have another few days with Sarah’s family in Providence before returning home.
I’m not bothering to bring a laptop on this trip, so I’ll be pretty much incommunicado until 6th October. The break away from the computer will be at once healthy and trying, but that should add renewed vigour to my activities once we return.
