I've been quite busy lately.
Within the past 3 weeks I have finished up at my two workplaces in Edinburgh, packed up my house, taken my parents on a tour of Scotland, loaded my house into their car, ridden my motorcycle down to London, and am now about to leave London early tomorrow morning.
Destination: France.
The preparation has tired me, but even more exhausting has been the anticipation. Nerves, anxiety, excitement, objectivity, subjectivity, stress, eagerness - all are thoroughly tiresome activities, never mind the additional practicalities of packing, prepping KC, budgeting, mapping, etc.
I take the 10am ferry from Dover to Calais tomorrow morning, and from then on am in a completely foreign world. Exciting and nerve-wrecking all at once.
I will be camping my way down the eastern border of France, meeting my parents in Dijon for final fun and farewells, before picking up Ms M from Nice Cote d'Azur Airport. From there it is on to Corsica, and then to infinity and beyond...
Or so the loosely-constructed plan goes.
Connection with the outside world may well be minimal. I hope to take the time to write some posts, but will have scarce access to the world wide web, and will rarely be in reach of a powerpoint for my wee writing companion.
I know I am due to write a fair few emails to people awaiting replies from me. For now, unfortunately, my sincerest apologies will have to suffice. I will write to you as soon as I have a chance.
And I will try to publish here as regularly as is possible.
Until then, I bid you all a fond adieu, au revoir, bonne journee!
Merci beaucoup!

Have you tried to source an inverter? (DC>AC) I was surprised how cheaply I could get one ($34, Dick Smith), but that's not to say you'll be able to find one at that price. Installation was drama free - but then I don't have a great deal that needs doing day-to-day...
If I was going on a shorter trip without it I'd consider leaving the laptop behind - powerpoints proved surprisingly hard to find (or, more accurately, time to sit down next to one), and it's a heavy part of the baggage. But then if your battery isn't as lame as mine (<1.5 hours) you'll be much better off.
