Hello fellow wanderers,

 

For those of you that still bother to check my website (and for those of you who drop by chance via a search), this is just a little note to let you know I am still actively maintaining this site, despite my incredibly poor effort at updating my blog.  I can't believe its been 6 months since my last update, but the combination of wedding planning and the working world have consumed my life as of late.  That said, I will be making much greater strides in the future to maintain my site in order to keep it current, relevant, amusing and informative.  As things start to settle and I enter the "next phase" of my life in June, I will have a great deal more time to dedicate to my site, particularly from July onwards. 

 

Just over 2 months remain until two big events arrive:  My wedding (June 6) and my next trip (Greece), the longest time I will be outside Canada since my time in Japan back in 2006, beating my 2008 Florida road trip by two days (19 in total).  I've never been to Europe (minus England back in 2003) with Greece being a dream destination of mine for quite some time.  For the first couple of days we'll be staying in Athens to take in the surreal presence of the Acropolis while navigating the streets of one of Europe's busiest metropolises.  After that, the journey will take us to the Greek Isles, specifically Santorini, by high speed ferry.  Despite being a longer travel time (4.5 hours), every authority on the subject says flying by air pales in comparison to the dramatic arrival a ferry has to offer.

 

Closing for now, but will be back much sooner than the last blog entry.  Until then, fair winds, safe travels, and enjoy the journey, be it from the arm chair or abroad.
