And Away We Go!
Within hours, Mrs. Blogotional and I will board an airplane at LAX heading nearly due north. Our flight will take us across much of Canada, the upper reaches of Hudson Bay, a big swath of Greenland and Iceland, eventually alighting at Heathrow just outside of London. There we shall spend a few grand and glorious days, before once again taking to the air for a much shorter flight to Stockholm. After a couple of days in Stockholm we shall board an ocean going vessel which shall, for a week, transport us about the Baltic Sea, highlighted by 3 days in St. Petersburg, Russia, landing eventually in Copenhagen where we shall spend a couple of days prior to winging our way back home.
Internet access will not be as readily available as I am used to, but it will exist, and I intend to use it. There is a dinner planned with Adrian Warnock while in London, which I hope will be as enjoyable as his breakfast with Phil Johnson but end far less eventfully.
Our hosts for the cruising portion at the trip are Hugh Hewitt and David Allen White. For some reason, I feel compelled to get on Hugh's bad side right away and have formed a bit of an alliance with the permanently-on-probation boys of Fraters Libertas. I am not yet prepared to say what shall flow from that alliance, but hopes are it shall be fun for all involved.
The usual Sunday assortment is below, but for the next two weeks or so, this blog shall be quite different than you are used to -- posting will be irregular -- far less material (I love to write -- it's the reading that's hard) -- and far, far lighter. Call it a temporary transformation from Blog to Travelblog. I hope you will stay tuned and enjoy.
Blessings to all my readers!
