Wow. Time flew. It feels like you just left.

Have a wonderful road trip! Not every day you get to say you're embarking on a 10-day Adriatic excursion. That's mad cool.

you're telling me! 10 months is both a long and short time, especially in the policymaking world.

i'm really looking forward to the trip (minus the heat and I already know Croatia is gonna be a clusterfuck of tourists lol). my mom and i were commenting on how nice it is to travel w/ each other now as adults. and my dad is driving so that'll be fun too. he was telling me that on his Hippie Trail Adventure, he tried to go to Albania but couldn't. and i told him that i learned that nobody could get in or out under Enver Hoxha's Communist rule, so it'll be neat to show him all the neat Communist history stuff that was happening when he couldn't get in.

and by neat Communist history I mean a shit load of bunkers (173,000+)
