I’m sorry I went MIA on you guys without notice, but I actually have a half-decent excuse.
You see, my parents kidnapped me.
No, I’m serious. They woke me up at 4:30 in the morning and told me we were going to the beach. I figured (since we live about three hours from the nearest coast) that we’d be back at around dinner. So, I doze off in the car, and when I woke up, I expected to be water or sand or something. But no.
Instead, we were at the airport.
Turns out, though, that we WERE going to the beach. In SPAIN.
Surprise! My parents thought I’d been working too hard lately and wanted me to have a vacation. Which was actually pretty nice of them, I suppose.
The flight took about three hours. (Because I live in Italy. Did I tell you guys that?) And the hotel was nice and all. I’d brought me computer, so I thought I’d look and see if I could pay for WiFi…
But the price was eighty-five euro per week. (I asked the desk lady if I could pay ten euro for a couple hours or something, but she said no.)
I think most of you are American (And I know Taron’s a resident of England), so I’ll put that into context for you all.
It’s the equivalent of 118.759 dollars, or 72.854 pounds. I just couldn’t afford it. That’s a sucky excuse, I know.
(If it’s any consolation, It wasn’t even a fun vacation. I got a sprained ankle AND an ear infection.)
I apologize. I’ll write extra long chapters to make it up!

Ah, I see. Don't worry about it. That's quite a unique excuse, and that definitely is a lot to pay just for WiFi, I'm sorry the vacation wasn't more fun, though.
