Unvacationed

Ange and I just returned from a long weekend in Florida with my family. After a perfect storm of flight delays and down computers, and US Airways personnel blaming the passengers over the intercom for ruining their holiday, we arrived in the state a mere six hours late. Everything from then on was smooth sailing though: sparkling sandy beaches, excellent weather, lots of playtime with the kids, and so on. My nephews’ superhero kites did in fact fly — after a trip to the local kite store to pick up some tails. We got in a full day of standing in line at Disney World, and an afternoon traipsing through ye olde shopping centre of St. Augustine. And I mostly didn’t touch the computer the whole time.

Anyway we are back and reinserted to the river of normal life. This trip should hold us until a month from now when we will be flying off to Berlin, Germany. I get two days of being nerdy at the Linux wireless mini-summit, and then the rest of it will be spent enjoying the city.
