Greetings from Venice, Italy! I’ll be back in the States in a day or two (fraking timezones, how do they work?) but I figured I’d pop my head in now. There was internet on the ship but the prices were completely absurd ($.89 per minute… so like $500 for my daily RP time 
) because the ship’s internet needs to be beamed into space where a hamster starts running on its wheel which sends a signal to some switchboard in Equatorial Africa then on to carrier pigeon eventually ending up with James Clark and you thus have about a six month lag in between posts.
Anyway, yeah, I wasn’t going to do that. Instead I really dove into the vacation (which was fraking tiring and not relaxing) and did some occasional writing at night. I see the place hasn’t burned down in my absence so we’ve got that going for us. I’ll try and do some reading now, but don’t expect much/any posting from me until I’m home. I’ll be sure to get some pictures up from the trip when I get the time i.e. after I get RP caught up here.
