-shopping spree at the nice leather stores in Florence
-winning lottery ticket or grant of large supply of money OR, if that is not possible...an immediate end to this damn war, a balanced budget and...

I have been *good* enough to receive any of these wrapped in a big box with a fat red bow:
1. A nice quiet Christmas dinner at home with my family. I was in Asia for 3 wks last Christmas and I will be back there again next Christmas for 3 wks.
2. A compact, tri-fold battery operated travel clock since I dont wear a watch.
3. Prague/Vienna/Budapest street maps.
4. Ability to purchase more days off from work.
5. New pair(s) of Merrell walking shoes.
6. One interrupted weekend alone with my mom, and then my sister because I feel like I didnt spend enough time with them. When I am home, I work insane hours. When I have days off, I'll be off on my next travel adventures.

I got a present early 
I have a friend, and so does Fodors, who has not been feeling well.
Finally, the doctors have told her that she is fine and does not have what she feared and now she ( and her pals) can relax and have a Happy Christmas
News this good is better than a big present wrapped in ribbons!

Travelplans, that was beautiful. Okay, it's my wish too.
And also, far more selfishly, I've been terribly good and would love to have both a European vacation (don't care where) and a return trip to East Africa in 2005.
But I will settle for peace, food and shelter for those less fortunate than overprivileged old me.

I was trying to blot out all the bickering, but I guess its hopeless.
I have my fingers crossed, going back and forth now on salary and duties. Still too far apart to get excited.

Mimi, you and your husband have been sick with the flu? I am so sorry dear one. I had a terrible cold in November (do not know if one would call it the flu) and more or less lost a week with being sick.
Sure hope the two of you will be alright. I send you my best wishes. Take good care.
