Back Home

---

I'm back at home and back to work--that is, grading and lesson planning. Here are a few photos from Ha Noi.

Nothing was damaged in transit and my iPod failure seems to be related to a software incompatibility issue and I think it's fixed.

Initial follow-up tasks after travel should include

• Changing passwords for anything you opened on line, and arguably for your ATM card.
  
• Checking your bank account and credit card report periodically to be sure they weren't compromised.
  
• Putting your passport and other important cards and documents back where you normally keep them.
  
• Not wearing your shoes into the house or garden until you've cleaned them thoroughly.
  
• Replying to e-mails and phone messages.
  
• Changing "vacation" messages on your e-mail and phone.
  
• Completing any courses of medication (anti-malarial, antibiotic, vaccination series begun before travel)
  
• Transferring or backing up photos and, if you made sound recordings, those as well.
  
• Thanking the people who hosted you as well as the people who made it possible for you to be away.
