Travel Journal Hiatus
I'm behind on my travel blogging--not too much, but just enough that I notice I'm lagging. I'll get back to it in a minute, but I want to take a moment to note a couple of things.
First, I posted the following to Facebook earlier today:
Is it shallow to admit that I miss my hair dryer and moisturizer, that I'm tired of wearing the same clothes going on 15 days now, and that I'd give almost anything for an American-style salad? And I'm missing my cat something fierce, not to mention varina8, ironymaiden, and davidlevine. I'm loving the trip, seeing friends, and discovering new places, but I'm missing key things and people at home.
Second: About to go to bed, I realized that I really ought to prep for travel tomorrow, so I've reviewed my flight, my hotel reservations, and how to get to the hotel from the airport. I *think* I'm ready--and I'm still behind on my Lithuania bogging! I'll catch up, I know. It's just all happening so fast! In the meanwhile, while I'm in Amsterdam, I'll be staying at the apparently lovely Nadia Hotel. Will report on it when I'm settled.
It'll be the first time this trip that I'm traveling solo. Shouldn't be very different from convention travel--except of course there will be no one there that I'll know at the other end. Still, if I think of it that way it's a little less intimidating. One step at a time as I hope my way back across Europe. . . .
