katernater'Going to South Bend tomorrow for a client dealer meeting at the College Football Hall Of Fame which, I suppose, is better than the National Cleveland-Style Polka Hall Of Fame, although not by much. I'm pleased that my company has seen fit to send me to the meeting as a representative of the account service team, but I'm less pleased that the posting requires me to get up at five o'clock so I can make it there by 8:30. Somehow, advertising always seemed more, uh, glamorous than "five o'clock in the morning."
Other travel news: my passport came in the mail yesterday! I'm now officially sanctioned to travel outside of the United States and, honestly, July can't come quickly enough.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fadedluthien just got back from a whirlwind tour of London and Paris and I've marked several of her stops as potential landmarks for Todd and me.
However, she had the luxury of being able to spend at least two days in Paris -- Todd and I will have, at most, nine hours. I would like to see the Louvre and Notre Dame and, of course, the Eifel Tower. Most of all, though, I'd like to spend the morning sunning myself in a streetside cafe with Todd, drinking coffee and chain-smoking those pretentious little French cigars that are sold over there like candy.
London is a far more simple decision: Trafalgar, Trafalgar, Trafalgar. I want my bronze lions, dammit.

Date: 2008-03-12 08:36 pm (UTC)While in Scotland - attempt to locate some MacLeod tartan! I *so* want a piece! A friend in college brought me a postcard w/ MacLeod tartan on it, but I want a piece of fabric and my travels in Europe did not take me to Scotland, only Italy (well, and the 12-hour layover in England, but we went to Brighton).
Europe is a VERY cool place! :)
I seriously, on several ocassions, have considered moving to Venice!
