Stowaway

I arrived safely in Las Vegas tonight. However my luggage is taking a quick overnight vacation in Seattle.

How fantastic is that?

It will join up with me sometime tomorrow in the late afternoon after swinging through San Francisco for lunch.

Cool.

MIA

I know, I know. I never post anymore.

I've been so busy working and traveling that I just haven't felt much like writing.

I leave tomorrow for a week in London. (My third trip to Europe this year!) Should be tons of fun! I'm really looking forward to it. Maybe when I come back I'll have some pictures for you.

I'm off to finish cleaning and packing.

Cheers!

Bon Voyage!

I leave for France tomorrow!

I'm totally excited. I'll be spending the week in Rennes for a sales and marketing meeting: working in the old office, seeing some old friends and hopefully eating lots and lots of great bread and cheese. mmmmmmm cheeeeeeese.

Have a great week!

Heading home for Thanksgiving

I'm putting the final pieces into my suitcase and then Slizzy and I are heading home to Portland for Thanksgiving. I'll be home for a week and have a jam packed schedule of visiting family and friends! I'm very excited to see everyone (including my mother!) and to be able to spend some time at home. This is definitely a much needed vacation.

I am taking my work computer with me (I know, I know, I'm totally addicted.) but hope to not have to turn it on very often. I'm just not sure I can not be "connected" for one whole week! Pair my computer bag with Slizzy's carrier and I'm one weighed down traveler but I just couldn't stand the thought of leaving the Slizz alone during the holiday. After all, she is part of my family and holidays are family time, right?

Wish me save travels and Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

The end of the line

Seen while waiting for the #1 tram on Overtoom:

It doesn't look good for that guy.....

Bon voyage!

I leave for Amsterdam tomorrow. I'm as prepared as I can be, but I still feel like I'm not ready.

The weather has been quite hot here and I'm a little worried about leaving Slizzy home alone - I think she will be hot! My neighbor will come by every day to give her some food but other than that she will be alone. I hate leaving her. Already I look forward to coming home so that I can be with her again!

My brother left the country today too - headed to Vietnam with his girlfriend for a backpacking adventure. I, frankly, think hes completely insane but I do hope he has a good time and a safe trip and that he comes home in once piece without any weird germs/sicknesses/bug bites etc.

Anyway, wish me luck on the big show. I probably wont post while I'm gone (depends on how busy I am!) so heres to seeing you after the 13th!

TIckets? Check!

I bought my tickets to Amsterdam today!

I decided to just come home straight after the show. I think after 12 days in Amsterdam I'll be ready to get home and relax.

Kind of sad that I won't be heading back to Cesson but I guess thats that!

Now I need to shop shop shop for some fabulous new clothes to wear on the show floor! (These things are almost ALL men you know!)

*wink*

To vacation or not to vacation.

I've been shopping around for flights for my upcoming trip to Amsterdam in September but I'm having trouble deciding if I should take a bit of vacation after the show since I will already be in Europe on the company dime. I was throwing around the idea of heading back to Rennes/Cesson for a few days but I think I've decided against that.

I have also though about maybe going to Paris or taking off for another city in Europe but I'd be alone so I don't know if that would be all that fun either.

Of course, maybe I'll be tired and missing Slizzy and I might want to just come home.

I guess I just need to make a decision. At the moment, coming straight home seems like the best option.

Unless any of you want to meet me in Paris? Copenhagen? Cologne?

Now why didn't I think of that?

I am the girl with the smallest bladder in the world. Not to mention the fact that it tends to go hyperactive on me at some of the worst moments. (eg. when there is no toilet in sight)

How did I not come up with this:

MizPee

I'll definitely give it a try the next time I'm in need.

What do you think?

Home is where the Sliz is!

I'm home!

I got back yesterday afternoon. (The Slizzy was THRILLED to see me.)

The plan for today and tomorrow is rest, rest, rest and more rest. I also have to go to the laundromat - and I'm not looking forward to it.

I did manage to get out and go to the grocery store this morning - but I dont plan on doing anything else.

Have a good weekend!

On the road again

I'm leaving in a few hours for Las Vegas. Although I wish it was a vacation (I could use one!) , its not. I'm traveling again for work - another trade show.

On the up side, my friend Tara lives in Vegas and we plan to meet up tonight for drinks. I haven't seen her since before I moved to France (I think) so we have a lot to catch up on. I'm looking forward to seeing her!

Another funny thing, my mom just happens to be in Vegas right now as well so I'm going to try to catch up with her tomorrow.

I'll be back in a little over a week!
