We are at Eastercon!

It's been a couple of months of ups and downs, and this month is very definitely up. K and I are on a bucket-list trip overseas. We started with three days in Amsterdam followed by 10 days in London. Many thanks to cosmolinguist for recommending the Travelodge chain. We stayed in the Covent Garden hotel and it was brilliant.

We arrived in Belfast yesterday. I hope to do a bit of promotion for the Edmonton in 2030 Worldcon bid. I'm not on the committee, however I can testify as to how my home city is pretty great. I have brought a package of maple sugar candies with me for the purpose of giving one to each person who asks me a question.

Up is excellent! I usually stay in Travelodges myself; all I really need from a hotel is a quietish, secure room with a bathroom and a bed. I don't need to pay for anything more spacious as I won't be in the hotel very much!

Exactly - a place to sleep, shower, and store our stuff was all we needed.
