For want of a paper...

... peace was lost.

Final fling happened. Not a ski-trip to snow-clad Andorra but capital hopping to sunny Madrid and sunnier Lisbon. International Economics, Second Edition, Sawyer and Sprinkle, Prentice Hall was carried in backpack. So was laptop. Book was read on trains. Further reading in Lisbon was avoided by engaging in more honourable pursuits. Laptop remained powered off throughout. Still two-and-a-half chapters to read and a whole paper to write before this term is officially over. An hour shy of 48 left for take off from Barcelona on Royal Jordanian Flight 714.

Travel weariness, unfinished travel accounts, withdrawal symptoms, unfinished souvenir shopping...
