Hi, I'm at work, though it is my lunch hour, in downtown Toronto. I'm really interested in this forum lately as my husband and I are off to Paris in a few weeks time.

9:30 PM Madrid, sitting on my sofa, waiting to leave to go to dinner.
|
Sitting in my office hoping that dog left outside in the Atlanta heat survives!
|
Sitting in my office looking out my window (yes I'm one of only two who have outside windows) at the perfect, sunny, non humid, 80 degree day - wondering why I'm sitting inside on this perfect sunny.....
|
Dukey-don't worry-he'll live to pee another day...
|
In my office in Kansas City, Missouri, with an investigation report to write but seemingly unable to leave "the board." Could be because I leave for the south of France a week from Saturday and, despite the beckoning stacks of paper on my desk, even simple talk of Europe beckons more.
|
sitting at the computer [of course] in cornwall gathering ideas for a short trip in November, suggested by a friend at the weekend who wants me to join her singing in Venice. Brings it home to me that those of us Fodorites who live this side of the pond and can therefore make instant plans to travel around Europe, are VERY LUCKY!
[sorry to shout, but its' true]. |
We live in a condo on Miami Beach directly on the bay. The apartment is ultra modern and my computer is in a back-lit “cove” off the den. A white wall unit with brushed chrome pulls is to my right, it holds our TV. My partner likes to sit across the room on a light green couch and watch TV while I sit on my computer planning our next trip. It is my obsession. The window behind me looks over sailboats and the water beyond. When I leave the windows and sliding doors open I can hear rope lines hitting against the aluminum masts of the rocking boats.

InMiami-that sounds like heaven! Who would ever want to leave?!
|
In my office in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I'm practically up to my nose in book orders, and reflecting upon the fact that in exactly two weeks I will be on a flight to Rome, bound for a trip first to Capri.

Italybound7--we're just south of you, in Griffin. We've been going to Lake Martin since the early 90's. My in-laws bought the property and we camped there (well, <i>some</i> of us camped there, I am not a camper!) for several years before the house was built. We're in Savannah Crossing, if you know where that is---but the lake is so big it's possible to be within a quarter mile of someone and not realize it. Our end is very quiet--in fact it is called Tranquility Point. [The sign from the street, in true Alabama fashion, reads, "Tranquilty Point," as though it were a moving comforter :)]
Dukey, didn't realize you were from Atlanta also-- |
Sitting at my desk in Northern New Jersey, surrounded by books, electronic equipment, drying laundry -- can't shrink the souvenir t-shirts in the dryer -- and a million things I should straighten up and put away.
Instead, I will soon take a cup of coffee and a book into our garden and goof off until bedtime. The mess will still be here in the morning. |
kswl-Our friend's home is near Point Cloxon-or something like that. I don't know much about the lake except there are some enormous houses and a rumor that Courtney Cox owns on the lake! It is just beautiful. We spent a week with them in July and took the kids out tubing right as the sun was going down each night-bliss!
|
Right now, I'm lying in bed with my laptop poised precariously against my legs while my husband reads a book beside me. The overhead fan is on and although the days in late August here in Rochester, New York cool off considerably at night, our upstairs bedroom is still stuffy from afternoon sun and the whir of the fan will help me to sleep very shortly-- to dream about a February trip to Paris...

In Connecticut at my Mother's new computer. Chicago tomorrow.

In my family room in Oregon, sitting in my recliner with my laptop in my lap and can't stop reading this forum! Have finished watering my outdoor flowers with the hopes that when we leave this weekend for a 10 day trip to Canada, my son and his wife will keep them all alive and beautiful. When we come back from Vancouver Island and Whistler, we'll be back at work for 2 weeks and then we'll be off for 4 weeks in Italy! We can't wait! I've been reading this forum religously for a few months now and am so grateful for all the wonderful tips and ideas that I've gleaned for our trip.
When we return, we should have a new grandbaby to dote on. That may curtail our traveling for a bit, but certainly not indefinitely! Our next big adventure will be our daughter's wedding in San Diego next summer. hhhmmmmm...maybe a restful vacation after the wedding would be in order. Ideas anyone? |
In an eastern suburb of NYC, feeling guilty about what I'm not doing (cleaning/packing) in preparation for my trip to Rome next Friday. Since my addiction to this site, I am now able to jot down info in the dust around my computer. Thank you.
|
In my back garden, in glorious Victoria, B.C., trying to finish my Brittany trip report, before I start my Galicia trip report and plan my next trip to Spain in September.
The weather is perfect and the Australian Shiraz I am sipping while writing makes this a perfect Friday evening. |
At my desk in my home office in Duri, Indonesia. Sipping my morning iced mocha and wondering if the smoke is ever going to go away.
|
What a great "thread". I am sitting at my computer at home and looking at the Harbour Bridge in Sydney Australia. I see the flags blowing at the top of the bridge and can just make out the outlines of the people that are climbing the bridge. "Bridge Climb" is now the thing to do if you are not afraid of heights. I am happy to walk across it but not over it!!The sun is shining and the sky is blue! So why am I not out there enjoying it!?
