On the road again

In the metaphorical sense, anyway. I'd like to be able to say, next stop Canada, but in fact it will be Auckland, San Franscisco, Calgary, Winnipeg, with mind-numbing lay-overs of several hours between connections. Never was the term "long haul" so apt. By the weekend, though, I hope to be lounging in the sun by - perhaps even swimming in - a lake that looks something like this one. Only perhaps not quite so close to the snow.
