This is the part of the trip I dreaded -- the end of the trip and the
mad dash to include as many people and ferrets as possible into the
data base.

In the last week or so, I have been to Poland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway,
back to Sweden, and I am now on my way back to the Jutland region of
Denmark. Scandinavia will simply not let me go! ;-)

Shortly, I will be in Hungary, then up to Holland, and then down to
Italy. Only then will I be allowed back in the USA.

I expect I'll be back home in time to dash over to the Buckeye Bash
in Columbus OH. If I can make it, I will be talking about the trip
experiences for the first time to a USA audience, what they mean, and
how the lessons can be used to help our ferrets. Since I won't be
speaking at the ferret symposium this year -- and most probably will
not attend -- the Bash will be your best and first chance to hear
about the data while it is fresh in my mind. I think I'll have a new
powerpoint presentation done by then -- assuming I can keep my computer
recharged on the flight home.

This part of the trip is -- as expected -- physically and mentally
exhausting. In Norway, I actually fell asleep in the middle of a
sentence wile answering a ferret question! I have less than 2 weeks
left and I hope I can make it without doing that again! ;-)

In two weeks I can meet my grandson Ryan for the first time. And get
to catch up with Heather and Elaina. I've been gone a long time and
it is time to come home.
