If you could blink your eyes and be anywhere right now, where would it be?

With my daughter in Siena. (Even though it's in the high 90s there now.) I miss her so much, but when I think of what a fabulous experience she's been having in Italy, oh...well...that makes me feel better. sigh

Right at this moment I would love to be in the Dolomites with my late DH or on the Isle of Capri with him. Ah, for dreams and wishes. I hope all of yours can come true whereever and whenever possible. CinCin.

I'd be in Paris with my Mom -- where we're going in September. I get almost giddy when I think of seeing Paris with her. She's never been to Europe, and I'm making an out-of-the way trip to CDG to meet her at the airport and ride into town with her so I can see her face when she first glimpses the Eiffel Tower. I am going to mist up just thinking about it. Blink. Take me there now!

Hi crefloors, I hear you! BTW, I was at the doctors office today and evidently a construction worker died in our area today due to the heat. That is scary.
An iceburg would work for me too. I am like you, I am so sick of this miserable heat. And August hasn't even arrived yet. Take good care of yourself.

I just blinked my eyes and guess what...I am in Barcelona sending this from our hotel and the midst of a three week trip which has already had us in Paris, Amboise, Seville, and Granada.
Hot and humid here and what else is new...but we don't care and neither would you.
More upon return and have a great day, Fodorites!

I'm having a hard time deciding whether to blink and be back in the South of France having a salade perigourdine, or whether to blink and stay here on Cape Cod, where I am with my two daughters and expecting a house full of good friends for the weekend. Blink. I'm still here. And the heat seems to have broken.

We live in Southern Germany, so Europe is pretty easy. I'd blink and be sitting on the beach in NC, listening to the gulls and watching the kids play. That's what says summer to me. We're going to beach in Tirrenia in another 4 weeks. Its not NC, but I hope it'll give me my beach fix anyway.

France. Angers, at the Promenade du Bout du Monde, looking over the Maine river and La Doutre district. Saumur, sitting up by the château watching the black roofs of the old town. Or Clisson, in the Loire Atlantique, an Italianate small town, sitting by the Sèvres-Nantaise river, smelling the water and the wood surrounding it.
Ach, France...

Barb, we now live in the UK and spent 6 years in Belgium/Germany, so getting around Europe is something we can do pretty much whenever we want. But I do get homesick for the Pacific NW from time to time and PT has a special place in my heart--the light, the sounds, the smells. If we move back to the U.S., PT, Port Ludlow and Portland, OR, are the places we'd most likely pick.

Driving the ten miles on D99 in to St. Remy de Provence. The road is canopied by parallel plane trees. Lavender and sunflowers abound. So different than life in New York City and that is one of the reasons why we have visited here for 13 years in a row.

Back on the little beach on the Amalfi Coast where we spent a lazy week last month.
Failing that I'll swap with any of you who want to be somewhere cool : I'm back in my winter coat this week ! In late July !!

Technically, I should say "back in the Luberon", but it's probably hot there, right?
My husband would pick just about anywhere near water in Scotland.
For those of you who are baking, it's high sixties on my front porch in Alaska, I can see beautiful mountains, and the tiger lilies are in bloom.
PS. Port Townsend IS beautiful.
