Me before travelling around the States: "I'll write all the blog posts while I'm travelling from place to place, so I can write the last post on the flight back to Europe and be done with the series by the time I start classes back in Glasgow!"

I meant to write this three weeks ago, then life happened. A month long trip, with all its ups and downs, passed in the blink of an eye, and I'm back in Europe for the first time since August 2016.
