Astronaut Ice Cream?

A Round Tuit?
I really need to make some definitive bookings for my winter travels. I have a train ticket to the east coast, but that is it. The rest of my 4-5 month journey is still a clutter of potentialities. I usually travel with no pre-bookings or itineraries, but this time will…
