- A trip to the Falkland Islands
It's only been two weeks of catching up on email, feeds, updating websites, fixing bugs, tidying up, plodding through to-do lists, having meetings and generally avoiding writing, and already the fortnight we spent in the Falkland Islands seems like months ago. Before more memories leak from my head here's What I Did On My Christmas Holidays.

I think that makes sense… I wasn't really sure why there were three maps - I would only expect two: One geographically correct, normal, map and another using the actual speeds of trains.
For ages I've wanted to create a map like this with costs of airfares, especially seeing how/if budget airlines change the apparent distances. But I've got no idea how to go about drawing such a map.
