On Saturday, I'll head to Dublin; for a workshop on retirement plans. Then, next week, I'll take the Dennis Bergkamp route to Manchester, and back. (ferry and coach)
I'll have to spent quite a few long gaps; waiting for the next connection. I'll bring some sandwiches, but I might have to resign to eating out; quite a bit.
Carrying a luggage case, to Manchester and back, will also exacerbate problems. But I live in the solution.
Problem solving is key.
