Dodging a Metaphorical Bullet So I Don't Have to Dodge Real Ones

A few months ago, I realized that I would be heading out to my cousin's wedding in Amsterdam in July 1st, and I realized that I had nothing else bringing me back to the USA after that. I figured that I would just buy a one-way ticket to Amsterdam and worry about how to get back to the USA later. However, while I was travelling in Greece this past May, I received notice that one of my papers had been accepted to the Summer Simulation Conference of the Society for Modeling and Simulation which occurs at the end of July in Calgary. Thus, I had to cut my planned indefinite vacation to one of 3 weeks in length, which I have just returned from.

What were my plans for the long-term vacation I was planning to take? Well, along with more extensive travelling in the Balkans than I had time for this past July, I wanted to go to eastern Turkey, Syria, and Lebanon.

Hm. I'm kind of glad that paper got accepted.
