I am in the heart of the misterious Transylvania in Turda, a city with a rich past and wonderful architecture http://www.visit-transylvania.us/whe...rda/turda.html

35 deg. something South, 149 deg. something East.

I am at my dining room table in my rented house in Geneva, Switzerland, where I am lucky enough to live for a few years while on overseas assignment. It is a gorgeous day and I can see the Alps (where I was skiing and soaking up the sun yesterday).

Is this thread still alive? I'm at my computer in Fresno California looking into my beautiful backyard with swimming pool (112 degrees in summer is not unheard of) and hot tub (it is freezing here during winter months - as you can tell, we have weather extremes) surrounded by travel books to Turkey and Italy. My husband and son are still sleeping.

I can not believe I posted on this thread 8 years ago....what a hoot! I am in Johns Creek now outside ATL, sitting im my recliner with my laptop om my lap :-).

I'm another one on the west coast of Canada--Victoria on Vancouver Island, to be exact. I'm in my tiny (it used to be a walk-in closet) computer room and my cat is, as usual, sleeping behind my Mac (for the warmth, I suppose). It looks like it's going to be a pretty nice day--9 degrees celcius and sunny--given the time of year I really can't complain. It's sunday morning and I think I'll spoil the peace and quiet (and my cat's happiness) by turning on the vacuum cleaner!

Eight years and going strong with this post!!! I live on Long Island in New York and about 35 minutes from the Big Apple. I am in my den, facing a south window where I wear sunglasses on sunny days at noontime when the sun pours in. It looks out to English garden my husband created for me so I can relax in it and enjoy the sun. My cats like this spot so I have my old woolen, plaid, baby blanket folded on desk. Cats love sun naps on it and watch for anything that moves!!

I am looking out the window to the busy plaza below me. It's been raining lately and the sun is just starting to come out and people are dashing back from a late lunch. Unfortunately, I am in my office on the 12th floor of one of the banking buildings in Charlotte. However, when I am busy reading away on Fodor's I prefer to dream that the view out of my window is not one of cranes, traffic, and buildings, but rather is a bustling Italian Piazza that is calling to me to come out and play...

I'm at my store, checking out the weather conditions in Switzerland.
Leaving next week.

I'm in my little office with no windows in rainy Columbus, Ohio. Dreaming of leaving for Europe...May 7th can't come soon enough!!

What a funny thread!

This very second--I'm in Corpus Christi, Texas--by some measurements the windiest city in America, and it has been that this week. Spring is fully sprung--mesquite trees greened up and hibiscus blooming and hummingbird feeders full. I'm just home from teaching (part-time--2 English classes at at private school and 3 English classes 2 days a week to homeschooled students) and sitting in our living room with my laptop on my---lap! amazing. Checking my email, reading the Fodor forum, watching WhatNotToWear with my college-aged daughter.

I discovered this forum after my husband gave me our 30th anniversary present--a 2-week trip to England--he'd pay, I have to plan (works for me!) So I've been camped out here a lot getting good advice (ADVICE) and opinions. It's been a great help! On Monday I will post on a countdown thread here that it's 100 days til we leave for London!

(and I'm in the middle of teaching Pride and Prejudice, and part of our itinerary includes a trip to Chatsworth, which inspired Pemberley--talk about relevance!)

(note to Kellye--isn't Chattanooga lovely? I grew up there--about 5 miles from Chickamauga Dam--after 30 years away, I still miss the seasons and the mountain views--my parents are still there so I get to see Chattanooga and the lake sometimes)

What a fun thread! Right now I am sitting at my office desk in Costa Mesa, CA enjoying my lunch while perusing Foders. It's a relatively cloudy day for SoCal - I was hoping it would warm up a litte more today. At least I have a huge window in my office and get to enjoy a view of the outside world! I just finished checking on my flight itinerary for our Oct/Nov trip to Italy. It seems like such a long time to go, but we have lots more to take care of before then.

Siena, in a top floor apartment with partial view of the back of the duomo, trying to work out how to conjugate verbs in "Passato remoto" and failing. It's probably bedtime.

Grantham, New Hampshire surfing Fodors.com.

Dinner is over, dreaming about my next trip.

Sitting in front of my computer in Winston-Salem, reading about other people's adventures, waiting for time to pass so that I can go back to Italy & Greece.......

I am sitting on the weird futon-thing in my living room at 4:30 a.m., Paris time. Well, obviously I'm in Paris. I should be working on two papers for school but I'm not. I'm here, panicking about my upcoming Italy trip.
I am also obsessing about which pastry I will have later on this morning for breakfast #2.

home

It is 12:45 am and I'm replying to emails for my husband's business while he is out of town. I knew I should have done this earlier..but I was researching for my upcoming trip to Italy, and watching the results of Dancing with the Stars, which I'm not enjoying as much this year.
We still have snow here, and my crocuses are waiting to pop there heads up.
We have had a very long winter here in Canada. I live 50 miles west of Toronto, in Kitchener/Waterloo.

At kitchen table in Marina del Rey, CA...can hear the waves in the background breaking against the sand or is that the traffic on Pacific Blvd....never mind...its relaxing and peaceful..checking in on others travel plans..living vicariously this year. Nice to imagine others going about their lives but frozen in the scenario described herein.

I am sitting in my living room in Central Florida listening to SpongeBob Square pants while my daughter plays on the floor with some dolls. I have been researching my first trip to Italy for next summer and trying to decide on one last hotel for Sorrento...
