Travel always knocks the crap out of me, physically, emotionally, and mentally, and this year's jaunt Up Over was particularly difficult. I'm therefore particularly grateful for the hospitality, kindness, and forebearance shown Jon and I by so many people, including lj's own
lynsaurus,
off_coloratura, and
lferion. As always, Jon's mum and dad took excellent care of us, in the midst of a chaos of family engagements.
Notes to self for next time: do not buy any books or food. If you must buy books or food, for heavens' sake, mail them home. I am not joking, you young idiot. And stick to small, flat, light packets of dried food, such as marinade mix and soy jerky, and not bloody great cans of Manwich sloppy joe sauce or litre bottles of Starbucks cinnamon syrup which the TSA will be obliged to remove from your horrendously overstuffed carry-on.
