We’re packing for an extended trip to Europe. As usual, this will be a working vacation – I’m taking my MacBook Air along and hope to get some things done underway.

From coming Sunday, May 18, to May 26 we’ll be in Portugal – not only Lisboa but the interior as well. May 26 to June 15 we’ll be in Germany, visiting friends and relatives; it’s a long list but hopefully we’ll have time for everybody. June 15 to 27 we’ll be on a bus roundtrip to Poland, starting out from Berlin. June 28 to July 20 we’ll be on a cruise ship, visiting Norway and Iceland, with short stops at Northern Scotland and some of the Baltic capitals.

I’ll have very limited Internet access during the cruise but otherwise I hope to be able check email and post news and pictures almost daily.
