I’m off to England again for a week, the main purpose being to celebrate cute boy’s birthday. Ever since the first time I had to wait for our checked-in bag it’s been my goal to travel with hand luggage only, and this trip we should be doing just so. My weapon of choice for this is a Smart Alec, a backpack I drooled over for about two years before finally deciding it would be worth the money. I’ve only used it for carrying (lots and lots of) groceries so far, so it will be interesting to see how it holds up.

Our plans for this trip includes the roman baths in Bath and the cathedral in Wells, so there should be some nice photos for you when I get back. With some luck I’ll get to meet up with several internet weirdos, too (Hi Chris!).

I will likely have little or no access to certain modern luxuries, so follow me on Twitter to watch me slowly go insane from the lack of internet.
