Back Where the Land is Dry

Well, I've now arrived safely home in New Mexico... Sad as I am to see my vacation end, I am actually very glad to be home. Although I'd almost forgotten how hot and bright it is here, after spending the last two weeks in cool and cloudy northern climates. Anyway, we now return to blogging as usual. The full and detailed trip report I promised (or possibly threatened you with) will probably be making an appearance a bit later in the week, when I've had time to type stuff up.

Some trip statistics:

Number of miles travelled round-trip on the cruise ship: 2,487.

Books read on the trip: The last hundred pages or so of Altered Carbon, Books One and Two of the Dragonlance Legends trilogy and 126 pages of Book Three. Also the latest mailing of Phoenix.

Number of e-mails waiting for me when I got home: 585. (So if you sent me some and I don't get around to answering it for a while, you know the reason!)
