Greetings from Northern California,
I am enjoying my last day of freedom from work after having the most magnificent first visit to Scotland, a land that truly touched me and often moved me to tears by it's beauty. I had two weeks there and wanted to spend another couple of months there easily.
I am now hanging out at home, laptop on the dining table and talking with my long term Internet friend, who I met afterwards in England. He took such great care to show me around during my four night visit with him. I was thrilled.
Travel is such a huge joy. I am ready to return anytime.

This very second I sit in a 150 year old stone house, looking out the window at the 1,000 year old trees and down the valley to the little Greek village. Across the waters are Turkey and another 2 Greek islands in the hazy distance.
I have sage tea on my computer desk made from the bush outside, live Greek music being played by a couple of the neighbor men. Am here visiting wonderful person I met while in Athens couple of months ago on my tour.
Say YES to travel.. ha ha

I'm at my Saturday job (part-time)at the showing desk at Coldwell Banker Real Estate office in Denver (Greenwood Village) Colorado reading the Fodor's talk as I always do to make the time pass quickly until I go home at 5:00pm. Always trying to decide my next trip to Europe and where I'll go.

At home in Richmond Nelson New Zealand, having lunch. It's 1pm on Sunday 30th Nov and it's a nice hot summer's day. We have a view of the sea from our lounge and also a view of the mountains which in winter are covered in snow.
The roses are all out, and the tomato plants are growing well.

Lovely thread. I'm in Manchester England and it's saturday lunchtime and I'm upstairs in my bedroom at my desk in front of a big window which looks out over Moston Vale which is a kind of park but rough and with no plants just rough grass but it's in a valley and it looks good in the summer but not that great now, but its a big view and there are no buildings in it. And I'm depressed about the fall of the pound and wondering whether we should still go to South America in August.

Waukesha, WI, sitting in our TV/computer room finishing up the trip report on Croatia. Two delightful grandchildren playing in the background, excitedly speculating on what Santa might bring this year. Temperature is 21 with a wind-chill of about 8, not much sun in sight and piles and piles of frozen snow packed everywhere! I can officially begin planning with my hubby our trip for next year-Czech Republic! That certainly helps those of us in the Frozen Tundra get through winter. Life is good, blessings plentiful. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all.

I'm in a condo on the north shore of Oahu typing this at 4:30 AM because I can't sleep! We just had huge storms here for the past few days, so there has been a lot of time spent hunkering down in the condo due to flooded roads and power outages. But...we aren't at the office!

I am sitting at my laptop on South Padre Island, Tx. I am a winter Texan. I will be leaving for church and then to eat. praying and singing makes me hungry. Actually almost anything makes me hungry. At almost 68, what is there left that gives us so much pleasure!! Just kidding hubby.I live in Illinois so you know why I come here for a few months in the winter.I am looking at the gulf of Mexico.It is, however, a bit "cool" here today but will be 70 or 80 in a couple days.To quote a renowned poet: "The seas are angry my friend" I have taken the princess for a walk, put on my "face" and will get prettified and take off across the causeway to lift my spirit and soul to get me thru the rest of the week. Happy days to all, wherever you are. Hopefully I will be in England next summer!!!
