   Quite an amusing tale -- thanks for posting it. Perhaps it was a bit long,   
   but the serial, episodic nature of it made it easier to digest. I   
   especially liked your inclusion of myriad little neurotic details (being   
   rather neurotic myself) and your understated sense of humor. Your writing   
   reminded me a little of Kingsley Amis's book Lucky Jim.   
      
   Did you compose this from memory, or from notes taken during the trip?
