Not much more time

There are less than 10 days before we visit Brussels for a week. Then, we will spend two short days in Dublin before flying back to our homeland. Time seems to slip through our fingers.

Our schedule is getting pretty tight, as we want to visit more castles, boglands, monasteries, museums, sea shores... We also need to sort out our belongings and start packing the many - insufficient? - suitcases, in between conferences.

Our departure from Ireland, that seemed so distant in the future, almost unreachable, is now imminent. I can hear the countdown loud and clear: T minus 19 days and counting...
