I’m amazed that you guys still check here! We’re going to be sending out a link pretty soon :).

It probably is set to GMT, since we started the blog when we were living at GMT. Thanks for the heads up.

We stopped posting here because some kind of WordPress glitch was preventing us from uploading pictures to the site. With the pace of the last couple of years, the last thing we had time and energy to deal with was hacking a blog. Of course, the issue was fixed a long time ago, so when we actually got around to running two years’ worth of accumulated WordPress updates, everything worked just fine. So we HOPE to pick up our travelblogging from where it left off. Terran has a half-finished post about the rest of the Scotland trip that has been setting in the draft folder all this time. And there’s the Grand Canyon to talk about!

Of course, we haven’t been traveling much in the last year and a half, so catching up isn’t so daunting :).

P.S. I think your blog may be on GMT, since it thinks I posted this at 4 a.m.

So great to read about two years in one! I love reading about your adventures. And Autumn walking is a delightful note to conclude on. :) Thank you for sharing!

Wow, surprised to see this pop up on my feed. But a wonderful write up as usual, and I may have to snag some of those GC pictures. There were so many from our pooled sets, it was almost overwhelming!

The Jerusalem and Accre pictures reminded me that I had meant to ask you about those travels, so stories for the future. Looking forward to seeing you all soon.

I really love your posts, full of such great stories and pictures! I almost feel that I got to look over your shoulder during your adventures. :) Someday I really hope to get to Scotland myself.

Thanks! Hopefully we won’t have to summon a bunch of friends and go drum the great evil out of Albuquerque or anything. To the best of my knowledge, Bush went back to Texas and did not invade NM…

Wow. Welcome, welcome back. What a rich and wonderful year you’ve had!

And all my best wishes that your return home will require no undue scouring. :)

Thanks! We’re glad that you enjoyed it. It was an… Odd and intense experience to write. Susan and I sat in the plane, batting observations and phrasing back and forth, in between sleep and reading and stuff, each recalling things that the other had forgotten. And so much here that we didn’t even have room to put in this post without making it over-long. Not to mention all of the things that we never got around to posting about in the first place. :-( (Like going to Bath with you guys or York or Castle Howard or…)

You’ve probably seen all the pointers already — they’re mostly internal links within our blog to previous articles.

What an eloquent retrospective. I’ll have to return to this one again to search out all the things I’ve missed.
