Where are you today?

Tell me...where are you today and, perhaps, where would you rather be?

I am at home in central N.C. watching this beautiful farewell to the late President Reagan. I would LOVE to be at the Renaissance Wailea in Hawaii........

I'm at home on Kaua`i, watching all the waterfalls tumbling down the north shore pali. Saw 2 rainbows as we headed out for breakfast this morning!

At work near Schenectady NY. I'd rather be home playing with the dog since it has been such a beautiful day. This is my first weekend off since Easter so I need nothing more than home to satisfy me. Maybe we'll head up to Saratoga Springs for some dinner tonight or tomorrow night. These are the days we cherish here in Upstate since it is so miserable for so many months. Sorry to see all that rain to the south in the mid Atlantic. I hopr it clears out and you all have a great weekend too. Caio.

On the 45th floor of an office building of downtown Dallas, gazing at the "mighty Trinity River." The Trinity is normally only a ditch, but after about 10 solid days of rain, I keep expecting to see barges floating down it!

I am at work on Lowell MA but I would love to be either camping in the mountains or hanging out in New Orleans.

I'm sitting in my office in Pittsburgh. It is raining very hard.

I would rather be in St. John U.S.V.I.

dcespedes, I feel for you....been there, done that.

I'm in the Dutch West Indies getting ready to go out for cocktails in a few hours, after working on our new ocean front property this afternoon.

However, I certainly wouldn't mind being just about any place in Europe at the moment.

Right now, at home in Denver, heading up to the mtns. to do some river rafting and horseback riding starting tomorrow to celebrate our 8th wedding anniversary.

Watched the touching funeral for President Reagan earlier and got a little choked up, especially when the tenor sang Ava Maria, gets me everytime..

I'm on the 23rd Floor of an office building in downtown Detroit with a view of the river.

I would rather be on vacation - doesn't really matter where, as long as I'm traveling somewhere fun!

I'm in downtown Chicago staring out my window on the 18th floor wishing I was out on one of the boats on the lake I'm looking at...

I'm sitting at my desk (bored out of my mind!!) on the 54th floor of a downtown office building looking out at the Sears Tower.
Would rather be in the Living Room at the Princeville sipping something tasty!

By the way ..

I'm finishing a beautiful sunny day in Norfolk, England. Spent the day with my two girls - a nice big 'full-English' breakfast, a bit of shopping, packing to send my 12 year old off on a weeks school trip (5 tons of kit!!) and Ben and Jerry's after dinner!

Where would I rather be? Well, here would be fine really, but with my husband home with us. He works away in the Middle East for 6 weeks at a time. Makes you realise that it's people that make somewhere special in the end.

I am in a humid 91 degree Memphis Tn.

Would much rather be at the volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii or at a beach on Kauai....

At home in Indian Rocks Beach, Florida walking around the house in the new (good ones this time)hiking boots I purchased today for our trip to the Canadian Rockies later this month.

Rather have all my continuing ed nursing credits completed, have that monkey off my back, have everyone packed (making no mistakes in what we won't need and what we will) and already at our destination in Canada. The airline called and pushed our flight later by over two hours, with a longer layover. Meaning we will now get to our destination late at night (traveling alone with three kids.) :-<

I'm home in the woods just north of San Francisco. It's a perfectly beautiful day here and I'm pretty content to be home for a month. (Returned from NYC 2 weeks ago and are off to Portland OR and Hayden Lake ID in 3 weeks.)

annethered, I have spent LOTS of time in Norfolk, Stiffkey, Fakenham, and Wells-Next-The-Sea, to be specific. It's lovely there!

Statia, as much as I'd love to join you for cocktails, I think we should meet in Bandera. Don't you have a sister there? One of my best friends lives there. Or am I utterly confused on this Friday afternoon?
