Home Again

...And broke as a joke.

Some unforeseen expenses in Croatia (camera died in Dubrovnik, so needed to buy a replacement on the spot, shoes went caput, etc) really added up and have caused a serious blow to the summer fun factor.

Thankfully the Istanbul trip was all inclusive--room, board, and transportation--my only expenses there were lunch, souvenirs, and admission fees. Not a bad deal at all. I had dreams of a quick trip to Romania before my COS conference, and will still investigate, but may be too pricey.

But I can't really complain...
