Time to get away from it all

August 30, 2008

We’re setting off tomorrow morning for a two week vacation, starting at Lake Garda, Italy, and ending in Istria, Croatia.  I’m bringing my laptop along, but I doubt I will have internet access, because I never have before when I’ve gone away and brought my laptop.  How does that work for other people, but never [...]
