But not so much for a work trip in the winter? I'm headed to Paris-- and no, the time is not an illusion. With a 6:45 a.m. flight, I need to be up and out of my house by 4:00. Of course I'm not blogging right now; I've scheduled this post to launch at the time of my departure to the airport. Clever, huh?I've actually not been to Paris in the Springtime... just in the Summer. But I'm sure if I had, I'd have loved it (particularly because more would be open as opposed to in August when the city pretty much goes on holiday). This blink-or-you'll-miss-it trip is quick overnighter-- sounds romantic, but really, it's not. It's for a two day meeting, where I'll be locked in a corporate compound with techies and then hotel room scurrying to meet a crazy deadline that quite frankly, I do not think we'll meet. But, whine, whine, whine, right? At least I'll be in Paris? The hotel is also next to the Louvre-- so I'll get to look at it longingly and hate the trip even more since I won't be able to actually GO IN. Booooo.
But at least I'm wayfaring at last and 2010 won't be a total wash for lack of travel.

Have fun and please eat something on my behalf. (or at least do a little shopping for yourself!!)
well, you went to napa, and san fran, and cookeville! and hawaii at the end of 2010. lots and lots of wayfaring!
had an amazing meal at an algerian restaurant in the wonderful neighborhood near the sacre coeur-- DELICIOUS!! graciously hosted by one of our colleagues who is Algerian and knew the owners, so it was a treat. But 7 hours of sleep in 2 days is no fun!! my goal is to go to a new place once a year... :( not this year, i'm afraid... although maybe i can't count some small towns in the UK??
well, you may go to an island you haven't been to before. Kauai? Lanai?
