One Giant Leap For Meeple-kind? Not quite. I realise I’ve slipped into another “no update” zone with the blog which I can only apologise profusely for. Other than work, family and of course gaming I’ve not really had any real time to spend on the blog. So a quick update...

So it started almost like part of my normal daily commute. In other words it started early. 5:30am departure to pick up Greg and then pick up Liz for us all to get into the airport for no later than 7:30am. Or at least that was the plan. As it...
