I have returned from my trip to the Giant Sandbox! A very worthwhile trip but also very fatiguing! I've spent the last couple of days just trying to get over the jet lag while catching up on my inbox - both at home and at work.
When I went over last year I had excellent access to the Internet and expected the same access on this trip. However, I found I only had limited access and it wasn't very reliable. It sometimes took me over 20 minutes just to log on - let alone read and/or send any messages. Consequently, I devoted what little time I had on the computer to keeping in contact with the family.
The good news is that no new overseas trips are planned for a few months.
