Late August and early September, 2025


With classes complete and the job search just starting up, we needed a break.

The United States wasn’t looking ideal for a post-completion celebration, and neither Andrea nor I really wanted to stay in Ireland for the time being. Ideas were bandied about, itineraries considered, and a final idea settled on. Bulgaria!

We start our journey in the airport, on the planes, and with a lovely little robot keeping the floors of the airport clean.

(Ed. note: Ben had completed classes at this point, but hadn’t actually officially graduated – that would come later, in October)
