At my desk on the 3rd floor landing of our rental house in Caesarea, Israel. Just finished booking trip to Budapest for our 9th wedding anniversary and trying to find ideas for what to do while we're there. After only two months of living here, suddenly we're looking for cooler places to go on vacation! In Seattle, it was always someplace tropical!

Looking out the window from the perched village of Menerbes overlooking the beautiful Luberon. The sun is shinning and we are about to drink some of the local wine.

Good luck, cafegoddess!

I am in Park City, Utah having a glorious morning with views of the Wasatch mountains which still have snow onthe peaks and having my English Breakfast tea.

Where am I? I'm in Brunei, S-East Asia. I'm sitting at the computer in our computer room which now looks more like a large cockpit on a 747, thanks to my husbands fascination with flying.

Sitting at my computer in my bedroom on the east coast of Florida. Glorious weather this AM, but sure to be showers before the day is over.

I have the most wonderful problem, a friend offered me a free flight almost anywhere in the world and I get to choose the place. I could use some help in that regard.

If the dollar weren't so weak, it would definitely be Europe - maybe Paris, but do have to watch the pennies these days. I'd appreciate any advice.

West side of Indianapolis, Indiana inside cube city. If I roll my chair about 4' to my left I can see outside. If I walk 20 steps to that window I can check the flags for wind direction and watch as planes approach the airport. It's a beautiful spring day, temps to be upper 70's this afternoon. I'd rather be riding my motorcycle!

Writing from beautiful Brooklyn, New York on a humid day and sweating as I am writing. Obviously sitting at my computer, just surfing before I get dressed for the day. To my right are my clothes, laid out for my trip in one week to Vienna and Israel. Have been reading this thread and notice that the remarks back in 2000 were longer than those now. Have we not only traded writing letters for e-mails, but also lost our ability to concentrate on long correspondences? Just a thought, not a criticism.

I am sitting in an office on the top (16th) floor of a building in midtown Manhattan, right next to the famous 21 Club and a block north of Rockefeller Plaza. Out my office window, I can just catch a glimpse of a crowd of union workers striking in front of the CBS building. And from the window across the hall, in front of the elevators, the spire of the Empire State Building rises between two closer buildings, like the post at the end of a gun muzzle lining up with the two rear sights. Visible only as a reflection in the building windows surrounding me, I can see a bright blue sky, freshly clean from last night's rain, punctuated by a few cottonball clouds.

Where I wish I were this very second? Sitting on a sandy beach, in the shade of a palm tree, gazing out at serene, aqua blue water.

I'm in panic mode! Leaving today on our first overnight flight, for our first trip to Europe- Ireland here we come

16 days, 2 very small van tours with a history/music loving guide who promises to take us to out of the way places. I believe him- at one point we're staying at a dairy farm!

5 days in Dublin, at three different times, 3 different hotels. Right in the middle of our trip we'll be in Dublin to see the launch of a full size reproduction Viking longboat!

I'm not too excited, am I ! Do we have everything? What a wonderful panic.

I am 15 miles south of Pittsburgh on a computer in a home in suburbia. I should be getting outside to mow the lawn....

Although I wish I was in Rome, where I'll be leaving for in exactly 3 weeks.

Sitting at my computer in the living room of our condo in Blaine, Washington. Right now it's about 50 degrees, cloudy and gray, hoping for some sunshine and a bit warmer weather.

Wow ... just read my post from 3 years ago when I was looking out of my kitchen window at the beautiful Dolomites of Northern Italy.

Now I am sitting in my home in the Azores. I live on the island of Terciera, the second largest of the nine Azorean Islands of Portugal.

I am missing Italy, but looking forward to my travels back this summer with my children.

On the upstairs patio of my Albuquerque, New Mexico condo, elevation 5740 feet in the Four Hills Village. Great view of the Sandia Mountains to the East; the Manzano Mountains to the North; and the city of Albuquerque to the West about eight miles away and 600 feet downhill. A few white, puffy clouds today, but about 98% clear New Mexico sky.
Just another routine day in paradise....

Hi everyone! I am in south Louisiana about 2 hours southwest of New Orleans. I am sitting in my favorite chair where I can see a large fountain in the park to my left and a smaller one in my coutyard. It is very hot and humid here so I would much rather be where you guys are, except the writer from Dallas!!!!!! Too hot there!!!! I am a retired school teacher so I too have the luxury of getting on the website whenever I desire! I just booked a surprise cruise for my soon who will celebrate his 21rst birthday in Sept.

I'm in my art studio looking at some of my small paintings I've done the last couple of years when in Croatia, Puerto Rico, Germany and France...and it sends me to thoughts of where I'll be off to next!

I've newly relocated to South Dakota and love the rolling hills, the huge expanse of green, the quiet. Who knew it was so beautiful here? I guess not so many or there'd be more people here.

My darling brother just passed away, only 50, and I'm sitting with a 24 hour ambulatory eeg machine on me trying to figure out why I'm having seizures. Travel sounds pretty nice right now.

Life is short, travel more, complain less, do with less-unless it's travel!

Cheers and Good Art!

I am home in Granada Hills Caliornia where the temperature is a very unusual-for-June triple digits. Trying not to turn on the air conditioning. I am in what will soon be a home office, having just installed a wallful of IKEA shelves and file drawers.
Just returned from a three week trip to Romania with my adult daughter- first time we have traveled alone together. She turned out to be a great travel companion. Romania is not an easy country to travel thru if you are trying to stay close to the people instead of viewing it from fancy hotels. We had a great time.
I finished my scrap book and realized I had no more space for travel scrapbooks - hence the new shelving. At the moment,it is all empty but soon to be filled with what is now piled all over the place, on the floor and in boxes.

Out my window I see nothing but trees in full green leaf - a bit unusual for this part of the Valley but pre-requisite for me to move here. I was used to our previous home of 30 years in Los Angeles where I got the sea breezes and never even thought about air conditioning.

How about that! I am about 10 15 minutes from you in Simi Valley CA For those that are intersted that's in southern California & home of the Ronald Reagan Library, before that the claim to fame was the Rodney King trial!

It's 2 pm and well over 100 degrees.
And not even a slight breeze.
We are known for June gloom as Grammy says. This is odd weather and difficult to tolerate unless you are the beach (technically 40 minutes away but in reality a good hour 1 1/2 to 3 hours depending on the traffic hour.) You are ok traffic wise if you go during "non rush hour" here which is between 10 am and 10:30 am. No lie.

I just told DH today as we walked across an asphalt parking lot
" This really confirms my distaste for travel & sightseeing in extremely hot weather" Years ago ok, but as much as I love Espana, there is NO WAY I could ever again do southern Spain in August. My tolerance just isn't there any more.

I am at home now in airconditioned comfort in my humble tract home on my day off with my three furbabies who hate the heat. ((&amp) ((&amp) ((&amp)

We got home rushed to open the door for them to do their business and instead of running outside as usual they ran to the door, hit the invisible wallk of heat and screeched to a halt & came back in.
Funny to see with a saint bernard and a maltese.

It's that hot kids.

2nd floor home office, overlooking back garden and neighboring white frame houses. Trees. Roses, honeysuckle, herb garden all blooming, and fragrance through open window (screened, of course: the crowning achievement of US knowhow.) Bird songs, and someone in distance practicing trumpet.
