Dearest Readers,

I’m sheepishly coming back to you two full months after my last blog post – yes, I know, I know…I should be ashamed. It’s been a hell of a summer and I’ve been here, there, and just about everywhere.

…And so it begins. Sunday, March 26th, I departed from Atlanta to start the second half of my sabbatical. I enjoyed a 27-hour stopover in Doha before arriving at my final destination, Kuala Lumpur. This marks the first time I’ve left the Americas since March 2020 – I’ll be returning to the last place I visited prior to the pandemic! 🙂
