After a hellish layover in London-Stansted, otherwise known as the 8th Circle of Hell, I’m back with my darling wife in her mother’s apartment in Slovenia. Hard to believe this trip, and summer, is just about over. Had a wonderful time in Cork. Had a marvelous time here in Maribor. Could’ve done without Ryan Air, though at least there were no major delays or lost luggage. And I’ve missed my wife. I wish we hadn’t been apart so long. Tina just opened the door so I could hear “Umbrella,” which has been the unofficial European theme song this summer — not least of all because it’s been raining a lot of the time.
Have to sign off so we can catch a bus downtown and drink some delicious coffee in our favorite cafe. More tomorrow, before we pack for the last time…
Glad to hear you arrived safely. We had an eventful return trip: one flight cancelled due to crew problems, without announcement. Had to purchase seven tickets on Jet Blue to get us home. Arrived at 12:30 after 24 hours of travel.
Jesus! I can’t believe that… I hope Delta or whoever’s going to compensate you? And why seven tickets?
I hope our trip goes a little more smoothly. Counting on that German organization.
Anyway, glad to hear you made it too — did they give you my envelope back in Cork?
