It&#8217;s been 4 years since my last proper vacation (no coincidence: it has taken about the same amount of time to write\/edit\/print two books). We&#8217;ll be visiting Armenia, with a short stopover in Austria where we&#8217;ll get to visit with some of my wife&#8217;s father&#8217;s relatives.

So order soon, or prepare to wait.
