Having my usual silent rant about "daylight savings" time change. I hate it! It takes some of us more than 6 months to truly adjust to the time change---and then it changes again.

Sitting in the library, watching the sun come up over the woods behind our house, surrounded by hundreds of books that must be packed if we are to move Nov. 15! I am in complete denial as I sit here and sip coffee, hoping that I will wake up on Thanksgiving Day in the new house, fully moved and decorated, ready for 40 relatives from three states. (I believe this is what they call A Cry for Help. But, no help is in sight. My mother, who has the temerity to be going to <i>Acapulco</i> for a <i>wedding</i> that week, cannot help; 2/3 of kidhelp at college up to the last moment (&quot;sorry Mom, I have a test just before break&quot; as if that ever stopped them from re-arranging a test if the <i>beach</i> was the destination); and husband who has pre-arranged and impossible to change off call time <i>after</i> Thanksgiving. Feeling rather sorry for myself. Sniff.

At my second floor office desk overlooking nearly all of the small city of San Miguel de Allende, the Presa Allende and the Guanajuato Mountains to the west.
The fireworks began about 05:45 CST so I'm now wide awake listening to the church bells.

i am in sunny praha in the shopping area of namesti republiky surrounded by lovely czech women and not so lovely czech men with dodgy moustaches.

I am in River Ridge, Lousiana, about 20 minutes from the French Quarter. It is Sunday morning, 10:15 a.m.
We are going to walk around the French Quarter today for the first time since Katrina and have some beignets and Coffee made with Chicory. We are truly blessed that all we had at home was wind damage.

marilynr - is Cafe du Monde ok?

I am at my desk in Sugar Land, Texas looking for information about my upcoming trip to Rome and Sorrento in November. There is a cool breeze coming through the open window as I look out onto into my back yard. Sugar Land is about 20 min. south of downtown Houston.
I love this web site because it has given me so much information about where to stay. Now that I have booked my room, I am in search of what to do in Rome for three days and Sorrento in 5 days. Any ideas would be wonderful.

What an interesting question...

I'm visiting Copenhagen with my husband and am right now in the lobby of the Scandic Hotel. I came to use the computer to check out the wonderful Fodor's website to get any last-minutes tidbits of info on places we should visit in the next two days. So far the info is the same as in my book, though these threads always have the best info!

hi
i am in my spare bedroom ,where the computer is,looking at fordors website planning my NZ trip which starts in 28 days
outside it's wet &amp; cold and is now getting dark (it is england)and the leaves are blowing off the trees

Sitting in front of my PC obviously! its in attic conversion in my home, its raining outside and dark, but not too cold, i'm looking a flight prices for a surprise trip to either Amsterdam or Italy for my hubbys birthday next March.

A stately cubicle in a midtown New York City high rise....

enjoying a day off reflecting on our recent trip to England and Paris just last week! Fodor's travel talk has been our guide for the past two years for our trips to Europe. Couldn't have done it half as well without all of you, out there. It's cloudy and cool in Manitoba but memories and photos bring back lovely warm and fuzzy feelings.

I am a travel junkie at home in Cleveland, Ohio typing away on a desk that is actually a DOOR on top of two filing cabinets that my husband salvaged from who-knows-where doing my favorite thing--dreaming about my next big trip. He wants to buy furniture, but I told him we should never do that when we could be spending our money on exotic trips to far off lands. I'm currently fascinated with a driving trip in Ireland. Any ideas?

Doha, Qatar

Thinking about the peki-peki chicken from Nando's I had for dinner.

Right now, at my computer, at work in New York City on Park Ave. Can't wait for my trip to skiing in Austria in a few months.

Sitting at my computer in lovely Central New York in one of Syracuse's suburbs. The days are getting shorter and the leaves are really falling now. Winter can't be far off, but today was nice enough to pretend that it is spring.

My husband is in Romania, of all places, and I am at home with the pooch.((&amp;))

I am sitting at work looking at the first snow of the season on top of the local &quot;mountain&quot; (actually a very large foothill of the Rocky Mountains), contemplating how much I have to do before leaving for Seattle on Thursday. I've only recently discovered this site and am so happy to have found this community of travellers!

Rauma, Finland...although I'm from Mass. USA and only living here temporarily. Off to my yoga class with an instructor who doesn't speak English! :) I'm slowly learning Finnish though...

Currently typing from the Air France lounge at Paris CDG...heading to Amsterdam shortly and then on to Cairo. US citizen traveling abroad on business.

Experienced no riots on this trip.

my bedroom in New Jersey USA
