Changing Plans

Okay, I sat down over the weekend and took a good long look at my planned trip to England this spring. Unfortunately the US dollar is not doing well right now and fares on all the carriers are quite high with no sign they will be coming down anytime soon. Combine this with my employer messing up my state income tax withholding last year and I just can't afford to go. Maybe next year?

I do have some weekend trips planned in the near future. The last weekend in April I'll be driving down to Richmond, Virginia for something called RavenCon. It's a chance to meet up with other fiction writers and Twitter friends from down that way. I'll certainly be blogging about it.

On Memorial Day weekend I'm going to another Con, but there won't be much travel involved since it's just up in Baltimore. Balticon is a Science Fiction convention where a lot of the writers and podcasters in the genre meet up every year. I'm sure there will be a blog or two over the course of the weekend.

To my friends in England: I'm sorry I won't be seeing you this spring, but as soon as I can afford to I'll be booking another trip. Keep the beer warm and chips hot.
