Upcoming Convention Appearance

No, I'm not talking about the New York con, although we will certainly be there. I'm talking about the Comic Expo in Bristol, England. It's official - this morning Rob booked our hotel for the weekend, and we've just now made our airline reservations into Bristol on 12th May (our jet-lag day) and out of Gatwick on the 20th, with five full days after the con to spend with Robin's family and our friends! I'm so excited! This will be our first away-from-home vacation in over two years - since Datsa got sick, in fact (so we'll be boarding him and Amy at the animal hospital where I get his medicine as they're well versed in how to administer it). And we have a wonderful downstairs neighbor to look after things in the Bronx, and with Rob working steadily and my medical troubles presumably behind me the extra expense is finally doable (let's hope the exchange rate doesn't worsen!). I hope I'm giving any London-based bloggie friends enough lead-time in case y'all want to get together, we'll definitely include a trip from the Lewes area up to The City during the week of 15-19 May. Hoorah, we're going to England!!!
