I'm sitting at a small desk in the extra room at our beach, listening with half an ear about China and the earthquake, the 'buried' children, and all the heartbreak. Looking out one window, I see the plants that are waiting to be planted, and out the other, along the beach, is an old coyote hunting prey...asure is pretty here.

WOW, I posted here back in Aug 2005, then I was planning my trip to Greece. It was great of course but never long enough. In 2006 I went to Northern France with a friend then in the spring of 2007 I did the south of France with a different friend and her daughter and we also went to Milan to see the last supper because we flew home out of Milan. Then fall of 2007, my regular trip with hubby we went to Hawaii instead of europe, his choice, not mine....
Now I am planing my Sept trip to France and Italy for 3 weeks with my 2 sisters. First european trip with my sisters so this should be interresting.
I also in the middle of a kitchen re-model...what a project this has turned out to be.... oh well, it will be great when and if it ever gets done..
Time to get back to searching for more hotels.

What a fun thread. I am home in Sag Harbor (Southampton) New York. It is a glorious place to live. I am looking forward to a visit for the weekend by some favorite relatives. Also planning and anticipating my trip to Italy this fall,probably my favorite country to visit. This trip will be to Florence, Rome and the Amalfi Coast.

Im SO envious - as I love the east coast of the USA - and love open spaces, so feeling jelaous imagining those of you sitting at your desks in lovely big old houses just outside NYC or Boston, or in Sydney Australia with your lovely dog.
Maybe if this post/thread lasts long enough, I too can write from one of those fab locations! I used to live in Italy, so like reading that people like to still go there.
I, for the moment (!) am sitting on my sofa in my teeny tiny flat in not such a nice part of South east London. Its grey outside, and I was thinking of going for a run, but am not feling motivated. I have had some busy weekends recently and thought today Id go to see a museum in the centre. But I havent as yet. Im trying to book a holiday and just posted a query asking about walking holidays destinations! Id like to have gone on a short walking holiday in new england, but cant seem to find any that dont involve camping!

At this very second I am sitting at my computer, looking sadly outside as the rain continues to fall here in Gatineau Quebec. My recently planted 300 begonias in pots will soon be floating unless I dash thru the raindrops to help alleviate the problem.
Instead I drink my coffee and read postings on this site, which I have within the last month just found, thanks to my neighbor in Florida (winter home). I also am planning our return trip to Paris July 11. Even tho this will be our 8th time in Paris, with all the info I am acquiring from all of you......sure it will be our best.
As my coffe cup is empty and flowers hurting...at this very second I dash away.

Can't say
even in the internet world i think it would take more than one second from the time you hit the Post button until i open the thread and read it
I can tell you what i was doing 30 seconds ago perhaps but not 'this very second' as you posted

Reading Fodor's instead of working, sitting in my home office in Petaluma, California (it's hot here today!) and quietly yearning to return to Paris asap. I have my computer set up in a corner next to my kitchen and beside my dining table, by a window that looks over my compost heap (nicer than it sounds - it's shady and green). Cool terra cotta tiles on the floor, a California walnut growing in the middle of my compost heap (I probably have to move the compost, since I don't have the heart to chop the tree). I can see the blue of the sky through the various colors of green outside. I see the advantages of suburbia, but I miss being able to walk outside and into the action of a street scene. It's far too hot to walk into town today!

I'm in my home office, my desk cluttered with work that needs to be done. In the background I have my French music playing. I look around my office with all the French pictures, books and what-nots and wish I was in Paris. Instead, I'm in Las Vegas getting ready for the heat of summer.
I love to travel which is very apparent by all the travel books in the office. This year we have two trips planned, Australia in August and Paris in November. This will be my first trip to Australia we will be staying with friends in Brisbane and then going to Sydney for a week.

Hello Lola,
I am at home, in Siena (Italy). I am at my living room with kitchenette sat at my sofa watching the match Netherlands vs France for Euro 2008, the first is winning. At my right I can saw trough the windows the courtyard of the building where I live. At my left I have some shelves with a lot of books of art, guide books of the places I visited, a picture of my father and my nephews, the Divina Commedia of Dante Alighieri and my CDs. I don't work at home.
