As I sit here, I am in yet another Asian airport. I am currently THREE hours into a delay that looks like it might last until the winter solstice. They have already canceled several flights going to my destination city. Free lunch was just served, which is another bad sign. I expect to be stuck here for a while. And, this is JUST the beginning. . .
This setting will be much of my life over the next four weeks. Hopefully not filled with plane delays, but I will spend much time in international airports. All told, I will be in 9 different cities. I will cross 30 time zones. I will eat 1,234 disgusting airline meals.
In light of this crazy travel for me over the next month, I am not going to post articles during this time. I already sense there will be a sort of “blogging withdrawal” for me, as I really do enjoy writing in this venue and interacting with you guys. However, I do feel I need to lighten the load a bit for this next month, so hopefully this will be a good thing.
Two items to note. . .
- If you have not already, please sign up for email notices as to when there are new posts on this site. You can do so just to the right of this article. Just type in your email and it will take care of the rest. As I’m not sure exactly when my next post will be, this will let you know as soon as it happens.
- If there is something that comes up in life which I feel I MUST write about/want to ask people to pray for/need to process, etc., I will post an article. However, I do not anticipate this to be the case. This is yet another good reason to sign up for email notices!
If you are new to this blog, please take a look at some of the articles from this past year. A good place to start is the “most read posts” section on the right of this page.
I can’t express to you how much I appreciate your reading this blog. It has been a massive blessing for me personally, as I hope and pray it has also been enjoyable to you.
Have a great summer and I look forward to posting again in about 4 weeks!
Oh, poor thing! You know I feel your pain after my time last month…but it does make an interesting story :). Will be lifting you up!
You, of all people, understand! Great spending time with you this spring. We all miss you being in our presence!
Happy travels! I hope I’ve put in my own time for a while on travel delays and overextended airport time.
Yeah, I saw where you had a brutal day of travel last week. Mine ended up being a mere 6 hour layover, so I guess I got off ok this time.
Have a good and safe trip, I will miss you bunches!! A month with no blogs from you is painful to think about, it is a joy to read your adventures and hear about things in your life. Take Care, keeping you in my prayers. Hugs!!!!
Thanks for your enthusiasm, as always! Yeah, I will look forward to jump back into this in a few weeks.
I’m sure your travels will provide good blogging fodder for the future!
I hope not, Lisa. Hopefully this summer will be uncharacteristically smooth!
John,
Your blogs are always very enjoyable and always a blessing for me! I will really miss them these four weeks. Take care of yourself.
I had lunch with your Mom and Dad 2 days ago. They looked great and were excited about their trip. But more excited to see you when they return!
Lots of love,
Carol
Thanks Mrs. Boggs! Thanks for the update on Mom and Dad. Yeah, I am really looking forward to seeing them in a few weeks. Have a great July!
Do I sense “My (2nd) worst travel day ever” blog entry coming in the near future? Just kidding. I hope you are able to enjoy your travels despite delays and bad food.
It ended up being not too terrible. . . 6 1/2 hour delay. A very long day, but in the end, not awful.
Hope your summer is going well!
