Some reminders and a trip alert.`

Hi everyone,

 

We’re leaving on Monday AM so I thought it might be time for some reminders.  I write this journal in stream of consciousness mode and I don’t take the time to edit or revise it.  There will be typos, words omitted (I think much faster than I can type), and all sorts of errors, please overlook them.  I write this mainly for myself although it’s in narrative style, it’s the only way I write that doesn’t sound like the technical writing I did so much of while I was working.  Depending on the situation I may have to send some reports from my old AOL account.  Don’t write me at that address as I don’t really check the inbox.

 

Often I include events and thoughts that are not really travel related.  They are for my own amusement and sometimes do not show me in the best light.  I type these in italics and usually precede them with something like Author’s Note or Cultural Observation.  When you see that please skip over that section if you are easily offended and have a thin skin.  I strive to be honest and open and in my mind both of those virtues are in direct opposition to political correctness. Anything PC involves as least some element of prevarication and obfuscation.    

 

If anyone wants to be removed from the mailing list just let me know by email or a comment on the blog and it will be done.

 

I’ve been doing some background reading on the places we are visiting and many of them are closely tied to important events in WWII.  It should be an interesting and somewhat unusual trip.
