WIRED IN HAINAN: THE PREVIEW

Team Def will be on the road for the next few days. Or for the next couple of weeks, actually.

Tomorrow it’s Hainan Island (that’s in the People’s Republic Of China, children) for some R&R with the family. Which should be fun since it’s one of those package tours that involves three nights in three hotels, and the itinerary is only available in Chinese.

So I really have no idea where we’ll be going. I understand a coffee factory is on the schedule. That’s potentially bloggable right there.

Then it’s back to HK for a few days, and then off to Singapore on Official Telephones Business (OTB).

However, I’ll be offline for the Hainan trip, as per my policy of not bringing laptops on family vacations. So this blog will be going dark until at least Sunday.

In the meantime, enjoy this selection from the King Sisters. It’s about coffee, see?
