a Facebook page for the trip<\/a>, which I would encourage you to \u201clike.\u201d It is another venue for sharing photos and updates while we are traveling.<\/p>\nI have posts scheduled to appear on Exploring Our Matrix, so that even if I face technical difficulties with uploading photos and posting other things, things will not become boring around here.<\/p>\n
I would also make a request. If you have a blog, or read other blogs, and write or spot something that you think would interest me over the next week or two, please paste a link to it in the comments section below. I suspect that at some point I will find myself unable to browse the posts on blogs and news sources the feeds of which I subscribe to and will have to \u201cmark all as read.\u201d And so please do make sure I don\u2019t miss the really important stuff while I am away!<\/p>\n
