Till next time!

It's 10.52 am on Saturday, January 24. Amy and I are sitting in our Sliema apartment, all packed except for our laptops, waiting for Ray, Anna, and Noah who have generously offered to take us to the airport. Today, we'll fly to Paris, spend a night there, and then continue tomorrow on the long journey to Tucson, where we'll arrive Sunday evening.

It's been a great time in Malta despite the setbacks. Beth Hume and Sandra Vella came during this past week and together with Ray the four of us got our Maltese 'ayin research going again; there's been some great progress there and more good work on it to come in the near future.

Amy gave a great talk on her Mongolian experiment this past week - it really sparked a lot of good questions and discussion. The next day, we gave a joint talk on our four Semitic experiments and had to all be thrown out of the room by the janitor because the question period wouldn't end - it was totally fun!

I'm looking forward to being back here next year (with running experiments, hehe). For now, I'm focused on getting home. It's been just shy of two months, and it's time.
