My lackluster travel this year is mostly the result of being broke/unemployed for 6 months. On the plus side I did spend almost a full week in the great state of Delaware, which is more than I once thought I’d ever spend there in my life.

Apparently even though we’re getting out early today, I can’t skip lunch and take off an hour early. I’m looking forward to going to lunch for an hour so I can come back and work for an hour before leaving.
