In Case You Are Wondering …

… why there hasn’t been a footprint for a while?

It’s not my usual reason … which is ‘living the moment’ … something we are certainly doing. But there is another reason, too.

I am traveling without my laptop on this trip … just my iPad. Unfortunately, I lost the iPad when we left Switzerland a week ago.

Actually, mislaid it might be a more accurate description. More precisely, I left it behind on our Swiss flight from GVA to LHR. Alas, I did not realize I had done so until after we were through immigration. Sigh! The good news is that my documents are stored on iCloud; the photos are saved on an external drive. So, the loss, while frustrating, is not critical.

We purchased a replacement iPad in Southampton, but I still need to set it up with all the software I need to process photos and such. Finding time to do so is a challenge since we are very much on the go at the moment. I will resume posting as soon as I can.

In the meantime, I am in touch with the lost and found offices at both LHR and GVA, as well as Swiss. Fingers crossed, the iPad will be turned in and I can reclaim it. If it is, it will become Mui’s hand-me-down tablet. (“Par for the course,” he says.) If not, we will file a claim with our insurance carrier.

One lesson learned, I will never again purchase a black or grey protective cover for any of my iDevices. Color will rule the day.Read more
