A brief introduction.

My dearest family: I've created this site that you may, when you wish, look in on my exploits and adventures while I travel. I'll use this space to share photographs and stories, to give you some idea as to where in the world I might be, and attempt to assure you that I am safe. In a few terrifyingly brief days from the time of my writing this I'll be flying off to Ireland, the UK, the Netherlands, and Belgium. I might stop in Spain and Morocco, Egypt or Israel. My finances and whims permitting, I'll wander.

I hope you'll forgive my somewhat swollen and purple prose, and perhaps even find it in your heart to overlook my frightfully embarrassing preference for the British standard in spelling. I'm afraid that I've been doing it for years, and changing now would seem almost like admitting I was wrong. While other good children were busy praying fervently and obeying their mothers in all things, I was off experimenting with foreign grammatical customs. For shame!
