On the Road Again

Well, maybe not the road.

Other than that I'm naturally lazy, when I'm not writing it's because in my spare time I'm having too much of a good time. I'm headed for a big boat with my second son on a father-son adventure to the western Mediterranean. I won't have much in this space for a couple of weeks while I build more source material. A week on a cruise bookended by a couple days each in Barcelona and Rome should keep me going for a while. My last such trip, myself and two other men sweated on a Princess; I'm much less avant-garde these days, there are two of us this time, though my wife planned it all.

As with any vacation, I had to get myself in a relaxed mood on the first night. What could be better than Mexican food? But "best Mexican food in Duluth, Minnesota" is apparently on par with "best accomodation in a cemetery."

Will two men sweating through Southern Europe overcome an inauspicious start?

Awesome. Our cruise in the Mediterranean was one of our family's greatest vacations. I hope the two of you enjoy it. Sorry your whole family couldn;t make the trip.
Thanks Bill, we missed the rest of the family, but this was intentional. We have our own little family tradition where my wife takes the boys on a mother-son trip at age 10, and I take them on a father-son trip ate age 14. There's just one son left now for the both of us. It does make you miss the rest of the family, however, and appreciate them all the more. We're looking forward to the next trip we all can take, wherever that may be!

And before I forget, you're world travellers ourselves. How was your African safari?
