We’re off!

Highlights of our preparations:

– I have complained bitterly about Sydney’s keyboard (the keys feel sticky to me and they’re harder to push than most typewriters), not least because I’m coming from a light-touch laptop.  He, in turn, has complained about the lack of a mouse on my side of things.  So today we picked up a travel mouse for him and a fantastic new keyboard for me.  Sydney agrees that it types much more easily, and I can feel my typing picking up speed.  I only wish we did this last week, when I was spending night and day working on an application on Sydney’s computer.

– Our cat loves sleeping on our suitcases.  I actually kind of feel bad for not leaving one with her when we’re gone.  We take away our petting powers and we also take away the suitcases: a cruel blow.

Our posting will be pretty intermittent and possibly even nonexistent for the next two weeks, but then you’ll be getting two different reports from two different parts of the planet.  Cool, eh?

Cheers!
