European Trip... seems wrong to call it a holiday.
This month I was lucky enough to be sent to Europe for a conference. The destination was Rome, and though it would have been lovely to have my husband with me, there was no way to make that happen for us.

Of course, it wouldn't be a trip to New York without trying to cram in as many ( Read more... ) -
Happy New Year!
Well folks, I did it! I spent NYE in a crowd of millions, dancing in the street (or 7th Ave to be precise) to see the ball drop at midnight in Times Square. It was below freezing, but I rugged up and braved the chill with my family, and we were very impressed by the organisation, the excellent behaviour, and most importantly, the rapid trip home on ( Read more... )
