Tomorrow the wandering DrsC go traveling once again. We head for Seattle to catch a cruise ship repositioning from the Alaska run to “down under.” We will get to Sydney around mid November and fly home in time for Thanksgiving, jet-lagged something awful.
What this means to readers of COTTonLINE is that for the next three weeks there won’t be the weekly doses of snarky memes. In their place I will offer a variety of observations under the heading “Travel Blogging.” If history is any guide (it often is), these will include observations about cruise ship life, ports of call, plus the vastness and emptiness of our biggest ocean.
While afloat on the briny, I will continue to reflect on matters political, scientific, and diplomatic. I anticipate continued access to my usual sources of information.
Being elsewhere while the election happens is less than ideal but Holland America obviously didn’t consider that issue while scheduling this “repo” itinerary. If one is needed, a reminder that whoever wins November 5 much of life will go on unchanged.
