2018 End-to-End Testing (Excellent Adventure edition)

For whatever reason, Google has discontinued the Blogger app - or, at the very least, it doesn’t have an update for iOS 11.

It wasn’t working too well on last year’s vacation anyway. Last summer I had resorted to bringing up blogspot in safari on my iPad. But even that hadn’t worked very well - the interface was distorted and there was no way add photos.

So I decided an early end-to-end test, in case I need to find some other work around. Better now than in Prague.

I am so glad I decided to do this now - it has taken me two days to figure out how to upload a photo in this post. The solution is a contorted series of steps involving uploading the photo to google drive, turning on URL sharing, and then copying the URL into a hyperlink. Piece of cake!

I don’t understand why it won’t pull photos directly from Google Photos.

Anyway - where are we going on Excellent Adventure 2018 edition? We’re trying a river cruise for the first time, from Prague to Berlin. This is our itinerary:



Why this particular itinerary? I was reading a book that took place in Prague. Hmmm. Prague. I’ve always wanted to go there.

And Berlin! We had been there for 6 crazy hours a few years ago on the Balkan cruise. It’s the only time that we’ve visited a port on a cruise and knew we had to go back to spend more time.

A river cruise seemed like a great way to connect the two. We’re also adding on a couple of days in both cities.

Still a couple of months away - which is basically right around the corner.

I’m so excited I figured out how to do the photo thing, here’s a photo of a Mother’s Day tulip, just because:


Adding another photo as a test. Can you see this now?
