  5. thxs ladies & great quote heather! <3

    @Amy, great question... took a little thought but i think, right now, i'd love to live in London again. perhaps that's why the "you are not here" fell on the globe where it did... although i did price a plane ticket to Shanghai the other day. ;) you?

    according to Jon Kabat-Zinn, "wherever you go... there you are" So... with Pageviews by Countries, I'm in Spain, Germany, Croatia, Canada, Netherlands, United Kingdom, & the United States. again Thxs. (I think it's time to get my passport out & dusted off!)

  6. I love that you are a traveler especially since I'm not. How much was the ticket? I haven't priced one yet, but I love that you have.

  7. the ticket is an arm & a leg Amy! ...but... i've been brainstorming. how do you feel about bake sales? donation buttons? snow globe auctions? benefit concerts? You know what they say, "where there is a will, there is airfare!" (or something like that!)
