Tomorrow I head off on my vacation to California - whoopie - so you all will have to do without my wit, wisdom and pithy quotes for two weeks, ah I can hear the sobs as I type.
My trip ends end in San Francisco but I shall leave my heart in Wondercafe and return to bore you with my pictures
High on a hill, it calls to me.
To be where little cable cars
Climb halfway to the stars!
The morning fog may chill the air
I don't care!
My love waits there in San Francisco
Above the blue and windy sea
I Left My Heart In San Francisco

Safe journeys!! and since you're travelling into foreign territory, into the deep US of A, keep an open mind:
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime. ~Mark Twain

Oooh - Cali! Have a perfectly delightful time LB! I'm sure you'll be able to find some lovely new red shoes & boots down there to add to your collection ... a girl's gotta keep an eye open for special things! I shall look forward to yawning my way through your slide shows when you return!

Have a great trip and enjoy. I look forward to seeing some of your pictures when you come back. Perhaps you will need to host a wine and cheese party when you come back, featuring California red wines.

................................But I wouldn't want to stay here
It's too old and cold and settled in it's ways here
Oh, but California
California I'm coming home
I'm going to see the folks I dig
I'll even kiss a Sunset pig
California I'm coming home..........................
(California -- Joni Mitchell)
I haven't the foggiest idea how this relates to your vacation, but hoping it's wonderful and looking forward to pictures.
Have fun fun fun!!!

LB,
Enjoy your holiday and have a drink on me at Fisherman's Wharf. (I'll repay you in Canadian dollars next year.( er, better not make that single malt whisky.)
Birthstone,
A great quote - you've given one of the best reasons to travel.
I thought I was the "new Pilgrims Progress?"

Thanks everyone for the well wishes.
The bags are packed. I'm just finishing off downloading calming relaxing music for the plane - I hate airtravel btw.
This time Wednesday I will be travelling this..
Virtual t-shirts for all.
Gotta fly!
PS - Birthstone, that is one of my favourite travel quotes
as is this...
Our battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go. But no matter, the road is life. Jack Kerouac
