Losing count

December 8, 2011

At about 1:30 AM on Tuesday I fell face first on my bed after a long day of travel that included a ferry ride, a taxi ride, two flights totaling over seven hours of flying time, and one ninety minute drive home from the airport. Yes, I was on my favorite island again, and although [...]
