So, you've taken the plunge. Welcome!

A quick word about the organisation of this site. My story is divided into chapters, which you can easily access at any time from the title bar "chapter selector". Also, at the bottom of each chapter are navigation buttons, which will advance you backwards or forwards in the story. The chapters are organised in chronological order, so it makes sense to follow it.

Accompanying the story are pictures. They're thumbnailed in the story, but clicking any of them will get you to a new frame with a full size version and a short description. Again, navigation buttons at the bottom will move you forward or back, if that's what you choose. To continue with the story, either close or minimise the picture frame.

Because this site was originaly written for people who know me, the Slovak chapters deal with my family and friends in some detail. I have reduced a lot of it, but if you find yourself bored, you can skip ahead to the European chapters. I still think the Slovak chapters are well worth reading, though :)

Finally, you can e-mail me with comments, complaints or marriage offers on my usual address (if you know it) or the new L & C one below.
