Hello
At this very minute I'm supposed to be working on an assignment for my degree which is due in next Monday. I haven't even started it and will use any excuse not to including reading junk mail sent through the post from beginning to end. I'm in Ireland. Its freezing outside. Waiting for Coronation Street to come on... another excuse not to start. Guess I should really log off and get to it!! Oh God no! I'll just browse through a few more sites and then get to it...

Annella-you must be in 7th heaven! The couple of days before I take a trip I am already mentally on my trip-total bliss! As for right now, sitting in front of my PC, planning my next great adventure, Italy, May 06, the planning and anticipation is part of the fun!

Good Morning! I am sitting at my computer desk this morning enjoying my first (and probably not last) cappuccino of the day. I am looking out of my kitchen window at the beautiful Dolomities in Northern Italy. I live about one hour north of Venice in a beautiful little town called Cordenons. The mountains had the first snow of the year over the past week, so they are incredible to see. Is is quite cold this morning, but we are due to be blessed with a clear sunny day!

This afternoon, I am back in Prague after three weeks in Budapest. As I type, sounds of "traditional Christmas" music and my overworked washing machine fill my apartment. I am surrounded by maps of Europe and the Czech Republic where we have recorded our journeys so far....This morning, I am gathering information for our upcoming Christmas trip to Italy! Being far from home for the holidays takes some adjustment, but we are rejoicing in this opportunity to be travellers in a new location and culture!

I am in my daughter's room at the family computer wondering where I should plan to take my teen next and if we can get away. Everybody is out this evening, so I have the time to dream a bit. I am surrounded by early 19th century furniture in an old whaling captain's house on eastern Long Island, NY, listening to the wind blowing hard and the windows rattle. I have a cat which hops on and off my lap and another cat snoring softly somewhere behind me on the four poster bed. I can hear the heat cycling on and off and something is shaking on the wall on the other side of the room during stronger gusts. A plate perhaps. It's peaceful.

I'm in my office at home on Sydney's northern beaches, on a warm & sunny Saturday afternoon. I'm looking through the trees to the ocean and Narrabeen headland. There's a rain guage on a fencepost where I can see it from my desk (country habits) 
and 3 or 4 kids playing cricket in the street below. Can't see them from here, but can hear them laughing & calling "Owzat?". On my right are two pictures of Cristo's exhibition in Central Park: the arched bridge in snow and a bridge of banners. The orange banners stand out like fires in the winterscape. And a solo clarinetist reflected in a puddle. On my left the "Wall Street" bull to remind me this is supposed to be a place of work & prosperity! These are all happy reminders of my last day wandering through Central Park and buying these photos from a seller outside the Met.
I'm listening to an old Miles Davis CD, "Sketches from Spain" and can smell a delicious mix of freshly mown lawn wafting in from the front garden and stephanotis, ginger and tuberoses from a basket of flowers from the Good Good Food Market.
My neighbour, father of 2 of the cricketers, has just arrived home with a Christmas Tree (fresh, pine) tied to the top of his car.
Upstairs: (more or less) organised chaos. Lounge & Dining room furniture packed up in the middle, painters sheets draped over.

I'm in the front room of the house I and my fiancé call home here in Hillsborough, New Jersey, US. We live approximately 1 hour by car southeast of NYC. Its early evening here and its pouring rain outside. I'm new to this forum and this is my first post. The site has been a wealth of information as I am trying to plan our honeymoon in Europe for this October.
quot;> uhhhm . . I meant southwest of NYC . . .can't very well drive a car into the ocean much less live in it 
. ooops

I am up early on a sunny, Sunday morning in Colorado Springs. Snow-coated Pikes Peak is splashed against BLUE skies out my window.
I am here on Fodor's, once again, trying to gleen any last tidbits of must-do's and/or must see's for our trip to Ireland in June. I am putting together our own travel book from all the clippings I have copied/pasted from this forum and others.
So far, it is 10 pages long with 10-pt. font. Yes, I am addicted to travel...a gypsy-soul have I.

Welllll....my body is sitting here at home in northern Virginia, but, in my heart I am sitting on a park bench in the Place des Vosges in Paris, so happy I'm not sitting at home in northern Virginia.......

Ssojack- you still around? Am heading your way this summer- DH wants to go to Lago di Fustine- wrote to Albergo Edelweiss-but we have a couple unplanned days and thinking of stopping in Cividale and Aquilea. We will be taking public transportation so limited by that. Any suggestions?
Actually am starting a file for future visits with car- so will take those recommedations also! Thanks.
By the way- I am another Hudson Valley New York person-am sitting looking out at the Hudson right now and counting the birds in my birdfeeder, wishing for snow.
