.... in three sleeps! We are leaving the acreage, the dogs AND all the kids behind to go to Stockholm. I am working for the Royal Institute of Technology there - for one month. This is the first of six one-month trips there over the next three years - so it better be fun! Thankfully, Stuart's work is flexible enough that he can come with me and share this experience.
This time we are staying in a studio hotel room as Stockholm is high-density, and it takes 14 months on the waiting list to get a 'scholars apartment' for a month. Luckily we don't have to shoulder the costs - and we don't have to clean or cook for this brief time ;-). It's not the Fairmont, but our hotel is clean and close to the school. http://www.venere.com/best-western/stockholm/hotel-time/
Aaric is staying in a variety of places - including at home with Ashley and the dogs, his friend's house and possibly the Hayter/Innes condo at Kimberley. Then he flies solo to Stockholm on April 5th to join us for the last ten days. I will be SOOOO glad to see him .... we've hardly traveled without him!
We have hit that age where annoying but not yet serious health issues are creeping up. I have hypercalcium and some of the problems associated with that and Stuart has high uric acid - leading to occasional bouts of gout! Luckily, Sweden has an excellent health care system .... we expect to come back healthier than when we left!
More soon,
TPP
