Already I feel Ms. Muse working her way back to me.
I leave tomorrow morning at stupid o'clock to drive to England, some 650 miles through a total of 6 different countries and intend to spend 7 of the 14 days with my granddaughter.

The next Julina will be before Christmas - expecting that the beta readers can 'do their thing' in the busy days before that unique blip in the calendar.
I wish you all a very pleasant night (it being close to midnight here now)

This not only saves some 50 Euro in fuel costs, but also some 50 Euro in motorway tolls. And only 70 kilometers more distance to drive ...
Just be carfeul with the low sun
Driving at this time of year when the sun is out is often a PITA especially when heading west in the afternoon.
650 miles
If I drive 650 miles, I haven't left the state yet - 6 countries wow

650 Miles
If you drove 650 miles in my state you'd poke about 75 miles into either Canada or Iowa. I'd recommend Canada unless you're partial to Buddy Holly or wind farms.
