Leaving sunny California at the end of the month to see my Mom for a few days in Philly, my Dad for a few days in CT, and then to Corning, NY/Lawerenceville PA for some rest and relaxation at my awesome family cabin in the woods. YEA!!!! I can not wait.

Gulf area beach and Paris, R&R! ooops, and maybe Nashville.

Going with my best friend (since high school, and we're now in our 60s - but we don't look it! :) ) for a weekend in the Buffalo area. There's a huge outdoor antique show in Clarence, and let's hope the weather is decent. The rest of the weekend will be at the outlet mall, other than the time we spend watching dumb movies on TV and giggling like the teenagers we still think we are.

What great replies...

Keep sharing!

Flying into Seattle next Friday night and departing Saturday for Alaska on the Diamond Princess 1 week cruise. Can't wait!!!!!

I'm going to Baltimore with my son and his 5th grade class. Not as exciting as the rest of places you all are going!

Headed to Sanibel this Sunday for 6 days. Also planning a trip over memorial day but still unsure exactly where. Someplace not too far away. Possibly Hilton Head. Will decide tomorrow.

Italy to visit my daughter.

I am going to Washington, DC (every day to work).

Today I went to Annapolis on a day tour run by the Smithsonian. We had an informative architectural tour of the old homes (exteriors only) and got to ride the two masted schooner Sultana. Of course, I signed up for that schooner ride. It was even better than expected. It was even more fun than anticipated. The interior is restored so that you can see how the sailors really lived in those ships. We also netted some fish (catch and release) and discussed the ecology of the Chesapeake Bay and 18th century methods of navigation (they got lost a lot).

If you are in the Annapolis area, check out and see if the Sultana is going to be in port. It is a fun way to spend a few hours! While the boat today was entirely charterd for my tour, it is available to the general public at other times.

Did I say I love to be on the water? Fun, fun, fun.

Mom, sister and I are heading to Ireland on May 19!
