Excuse me

I was on vacation. I worked my way through Boston, MA., Newport, RI. and New York, NY with a couple of zip throughs through Connecticut - once whilst lost and the other whilst road-tripping.

Naturally the shopping was *amazing*, the food portion sizes were epic, and all in all everything (literally everything) was larger than life. And of course it was simply super to see our amazzz*droool*zzzing family :P

I'm now back into the familiar rainy damp 'summer' weather here at home, but well equipped with my new clothes. I plan on staying put for approx two weeks.

Pit stops are scheduled for Hungary, Poland, Austria, Germany and The Netherlands before September 1st!
