I never got into the whole ‘blogging craze’. But I’ve been thinking lately about how I’m going to keep everyone back at home informed over the next few years, and it seems like a website will the most efficient way. That, and Nick said I should just get on with it and join the 21st century. I’m not sure I really have time for a blog, but what can I say?

Three and a half weeks seems alternately no time at all and eons to wait. I’ve only just begun to create a packing list - my preparation style for travel has always been to put everything in place the night before my departure, which probably isn’t exactly wise in this case - but I expect everything to come crashing together at the end of next week, after the concert. If nothing else that will be the point when I finally start thinking of NYC as imminent instead of something in the far, far future.

And for anyone interested in the origin of the blog title, it’s inspired by an ABBA song: I Wonder.
