Hello / Goodbye

I am happy to announce that tax season officially ended yesterday at midnight.  I am also happy to announce that I am officially getting the heck out of here at 4:44 this afternoon for two weeks in eastern Europe (specifically Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia & Bosnia-Herzegovina).  With any luck, this time tomorrow I will be kicking my shoes off in our posh Budapest hotel room and deciding where to eat our first Hungarian meal. 

It is my ambitious intention to update this blog regularly throughout the journey.  I will also be uploading pictures to Flickr, if anyone feels like taking a peek.

So, wish us luck with the airlines – we change planes in Chicago and Munich, and I would very much like our luggage to follow along with us.  And here’s hoping for some good sleep on the transatlantic leg, since I’ll probably need to be sharp for the rush-hour drive into the city.  Should be interesting.

Best wishes from vacationland, then.  Adieu.
