As noted just above, I was travelling in March. First to Spain for a conference. Then back to Japan for less than a week, during which I was diagnosed with Influenza A that I must have picked up in Spain. Sorry about anyone I infected on the plane, though at least I was masking for most of it. Then to the UK for $NEPHEW's wedding. Really enjoyed that apart from being somewhat convalescent from the flu. Then back to the beginning of the academic year. Just about recovered but now planning more travel.
End of May/beginning of June I do a round-the-world trip to Brussels, Ljubljana and Boston (MA). Three conferences in two and a half weeks. Not as intense as the four conferences, three cities, two continents trip I did in 2011 (opposite direction that time, to the US first, then Europe). I'm hoping the direction of travel and the slightly more downtime will make it less hard on my body. Planning to pre-record online lectures this time rather than trying to fit in fifteen make-up classes (five classes per week for three weeks of teaching days away). That will provide some other scheduling issues, but will be easier, I think.
