Glory and Trumpets!

Last night I plucked up my courage and raised the question of Charleston with Kerri. And she said Yes!

So I'll be attending this year's convention!

And very likely Kerri will as well. Probably the kids won't. All tied up with school holidays and work, but I'm pretty sure that Kerri will be able to make it.

If so, we'll be spending time in Paris, Guernsey, Washington and Charleston. I've been yearning to walk with Kerri through the places I discovered last year, particularly St Malo. It's lovely to find new and interesting destinations, far better to have someone's hand to hold and a shared joy.

More details later. Itinerary quite up in the air, but it may be that we go the "wrong way" around, that is, from west to east.

And yes, ResQgeek, I or we would love to stay with you in Washington and drive down to Charleston.

The fact that you're making plans for Charleston makes me realize that it's been nearly a year--and nearly two (Ok that's a bit more of a stretch since I was in Canberra in May) since the first meet-up. Is it me or is time in hyper drive of late?

South Carolina in Spring is beautiful-but something is telling me that you already know this. I just can't remember whethe you made it there last time.

Osaka was just a stop on the way to Charleston...

I spent Easter with Bookczuk (and MartiP and some of the other wonderful SC BXers), I had a wonderful time, helped check out the convention hotel, and got shown all the OBCZs in the city.

April's a good time of year in Charleston (actually, it's good anywhere, really), but there wasn't much in the way of cherry blossoms. Nor the emotional depth of Hiroshima.

I'm really looking forward to this upcoming trip. Not so much for the places, as the people.

Yeah, it's definitely about the people. I'm trying to sort this August's trip and realized it's not so much about wanting to get to Sydney/Brisbane/Canberra/ etc again as wanting to see the people who are there.

I knew you were seeing BookCzuk etc but couldn't rememeber whether it was in Charleston or they were at the convention. I do remember telling a few people that they needed to find you Dunkin' Donuts :)
