I am sitting next to my home office window in Fruitland Park, Florida. I'm looking out at the lake, it is called Mirror Lake and today it is. I'm thinking that I need to clean the bottom of my little sailboat, or mow the yard, or read Fodor Board (I'll read Fodor Board).

My cat, Shadow, has already performed her morning ritual of standing on the keyboard and drooling. Wife is asleep, she is an elementary school teacher and can use the rest. Max the Beagle is asleep, mad at us that we put him on a diet.

We're planning our Christmas trip to Italy, so I'm playing alot on the web. I just got my Skype phone installed, so now I have wait for everyone to wake up so I can begin calling myself to see how well it works.

What a great thread!!

Dave

Usually I would be in my study - I'm an infrequent visitor to this forum - just don't seem to have the time.

but tonight it is a Saturday night and I'm at home with my husband - teenage kids all out. My husband is indulging his interest in 1950's SciFi videos - not something I share! But I've grabbed my daughters lap top and I'm sitting next to him on the couch as he watchces his video. He's happy because I'm sitting beside him - and I'm happy because I'm not watching the videos!

Oh, yes, I'm in East Fremantle, Western Australia. Recenty returned from a 7 week trip to France, Croatia and Italy (leaving the aforementioned teenagers at home). Not sure whether they had more fun or us!

Just returned to Paris (18th arrondissement, rue Marx Dormoy) this evening after five days in Annecy, Geneva, Lausanne, Evian, Grenoble, Orange, the Ardeche gorges, Montluçon, and Sully-sur-Loire.

I am at home, all day. It is the weekend after having sent our last child off to college. It is the weekend that I sit in my husband's home office, with stacks of books- all things Spain in preparation for our first trip alone (next month) in many years. At the computer, I've got my left eye fixed on Ernesto (we live in Miami), but my right eye is glued to this forum and my ever-growing itinerary on Word.

In the lobby of the Corte Grimani in Venice, Italy. After church at St. Mark's this morning we did some shopping. Now I am giving my feet a rest.

BTW -- the Corte Grimani is excellent! I will provide a full report when we return.

We're in the Czech Airlines lounge (and a very nice one it is too) at Prague airport. Leaving in a few minutes for Brussels, then to Madrid, then 6 hours later to Johannesburg. 30 hours in transit today/tomorrow. Oy.

Right now I am in White City on the site of the 1908 Olympic Games. It's now a rather dingy housing estate. I am in the shadow of QPR's football ground, and 5 minutes walk from the BBC.

I should also be working, not doing this.

What a great idea for a thread! I have often wondered where people are when they post here.

I am jealous of those of you who are travelling and I am here at work. I am sitting at my desk in Temecula California. I have a nice little cubicle that is surrounded by big windows and looks out over the city of Temecula. We are up on a hill looking east. My desk is a mess...as usual. But I have my Ireland map next to me and I am listening to Midwest Irish radio online. I just stopped for my Starbucks and logged in to see if there was any new interesting threads. And here it was!

I am in my family room in Central New York State. I do not participate in Fodor's forums very much during work, do a little on weeknights, and participate a lot on weekends. I am currently planning future European vacations and reminiscing about the previous ones.

Hong Kong. It is very early in the morning, I am asking myself if I should workout, pack or go back to bed. Hong Kong is a great city but I can't wait to go back home.

I'm currently sitting in the den of a rental cabin on Lake Chicamaugua in Chattanooga, TN on a retreat with my 8th grade Girl Scout troop. Been reading literature from ACIS and contemplating whether I want to lead a student tour in summer of 2009, but wanted a break from that by reading of others' adventures!

By the way, I found the cabin through VRBO.com, which I first read about here on fodors!

I am in a new village house in an ancient white village in Andalucia, Spain. I am at a table in our living room that has big windows ( & terrace) that looks out over mountains down to the sea.

It is warm and beautiful!

This thread is EIGHT years old, now, that is impressive.

I am in my open plan kitchen ,dining , living room, on the west coast of Canada, on an island in the Pacific. In front of me a wall that seperates me from staring directly into living room, behind me the dishes, waiting to be unloaded from the dishwasher, above me the sky light , and below me our new hard wood floors. LOL

Isn't the internet amazing, all these people posting from cafes, kitchens , airports, and laptops all over the world!!!

Hello bozama, are you on beautiful Victoria Island?

I am at my laptop sitting in my home which is located in the southern end of the Sacramento Valley, CA.

And my dishwasher need to be emptied also, lol. Well that can wait until tomorrow morning I believe.

Hello ladies/gents. I am browsing Fodors during the "tea break" (of the cricket between Australia and India being shown on TV) in my family room. It is hot (38C) and my husband is just firing the barby up for dinner! Outside it is brown and dry as we are in the grip of a drought in South Australia.

Great forum.... I am at my home in Sydney, Australia, it is Sunday evening and I am catching up on emails etc after a busy weekend. I work on Saturdays and then saw some clients this morning. Our poor old dog is lying beside me trying to get comfortable. It is quite balmy in Sydney, we have had a very cool, wet summer after the drought finally broke towards the end of 2007. So, I am in my family room with a lovely view over what we Aussies call "the bush", our home rests on the top of a ridge and look across to a more rural area of Sydney. Outside the window of this room. I have a small lavender hedge which I adore. In reply to the 2nd question - where would you like to be? Paris!! I fell in love with Paris in 2006 and am desperate to return - not long now with a trip planned in June 2008. Oh! Just realised how old this post is - still a lovely read though.

I am sitting in my study, in my house in a town about 20km NE of Utrecht, and 43Km SE of Amsterdam.
The sun is shining, it is -3C. Through my window I am enjoying watching the birds at the feeders, the crocuses and snowdrops in bloom and the first hints of green on the shrubs in my garden.

It'sa fine morning, if cold.
