Getting a handle on things

Ok, so I think that I'm pretty much up to speed regarding how this blog works, although I still don't know the difference between a member and a follower.

If you decide to sign in as a guest, then your reading privileges will expire in two weeks and chances are that I won't think to re-invite you, so if you want to follow the trip, you'll have to set up an account.

We leave on the Feast of the Ascension, and while we expect to "ascend" through the sky towards the heavens, we are hoping to actually land in Europe for our trip.

Here's hoping that Eyjafjallajokull's big sister, Katla, decides to refrain from sibling rivalry this time around, or we might just think we've headed the wrong direction!

I'll keep you posted on the itinerary as the days get closer.
