Hugs and Chisses

"The Unknown Regions remained uncharted because a chaotic web of anomalies had created a near-impenetrable barrier to exploration; only the most foolhardy or desperate ventured there—criminals, refugees, and, if the reports were true, remnants of the old Imperial fleet who had refused to accept New Republic rule.

A few planets had been discovered, but their populations remained small, and their trade with the rest of the galaxy had been throttled by the navigational risk. The Sith and the Jedi had found paths through to even more dangerous, more hidden worlds—or so legends said—and the specific, carefully stepped coordinate jumps required to safely navigate the anomalies were among their most closely guarded secrets."

As some of you might have already read in my IG stories, I am attempting to visit my family (actual and found) in Italy for the holidays.

Things once trivial like boarding a plane and waking up the next day in another continent are now definitely more challenging.

Saving you the long list of complications, I decided to embark on the journey, anyway.

Jump by jump.

"If we can make it to the ground, we'll take the next chance.

And the next. On and on until we win... or the chances are spent."

This also means a couple of weeks of not planned posts.

Yes. So even more useless than usual.

But, equally, the domineering reappearance of my teensy-weensy favorite travel companion.

'Raw'n.

Camera lover, gourmet connoisseur, and infallible copilot, he will take care of me every step of the way.

Drowning our uncertainties in cheese triangles and fruits sticks.

Thus.

So long, folks.

Hugs and Chisses!

[PS - I am posting this Thrawn Thursday caption —on a Wednesday— because I genuinely span from zero time tomorrow to bored to death for seventeen hours. Forgive also the simplicity of the photo, but I am always utterly uninspired when *I* am inside the clothes that I want to share with you. That said, the t-shirt is hilarious, brilliantly Barbie pink, and I adore it with all my heart. By Chissless on Teepublic].
