Best laid plans...

So my originally scheduled departure to Ireland has been... delayed. It seems there were some delays in even getting my work visa application submitted, which resultantly means I miss my January 8th departure.

Even more unfortunately, it also means I miss the free ski trip in the Italian Alps. Damn bureaucracy. As a poor substitute, I will be joining the Google west coast ski trip in Squaw Valley.

To continue my apparent pattern of travel however, I'm off to New York this weekend to visit my extended family and celebrate Christmas. Ho, Ho, Ho...
