A part of my mind is still away in vacationland but most of me is back fully at work. I'm in that "how did this happen?" moment of having nothing at work happen in one area all year and then have every single project come to completion at the exact same time. In this case, it is all coinciding at the exact two weeks that I'll be on my cruise. I can't even believe this. I have been asked to go on 3 different trips and each time I have to say, "I'll be on my cruise." Go figure. Then a 4th trip popped in and this one I'll probably do but we'll see. Luckily this 4th trip is Mexico so that makes everything easier. It's hard to worry about stuff that's out of my control especially when my mind is thinking about cruise food, spa, wine tasting, Star Trek (yes, it's a Star Trek cruise,) and sightseeing the Lord of the Rings filming locations in New Zealand. (We cross over to other SciFi genres on these cruises.) Well that's still over 3 weeks away so I'll go focus on work now.

Stained glass is one of the more difficult things to photograph well.
Innsbruck - here despite it never being on my to-see list
First the backstory. In about a week I'll be boarding a cruise ship (this year's Cruise Trek) in Romania. When I booked the flight many months ago, I had a brilliant idea to go in a week early to Vienna and use it as a base to spend a few nights each in Albania and Bosnia. Fast forward to 6 weeks ago and the Covid restrictions, flight schedules, and hotel prices made me give up. Changing the flight to Vienna would result in penalties and possibly fare increases so I made the best of it and thought, where can I go in Austria where I've never been? Innsbruck, hmm. Can I get a free flight from Vienna? Yes! Can I get a free hotel room? Yes. Check! The city is picture perfect though. Nestled in a valley between two mountain ranges, it's green, colorful, and everything you could want a place to be when the purpose is total work decompression. No major sightseeing, no expectations. You, a city and a view. It's walkable and small. You've got to look up, left and right,
