Winter is my travel time for work. Three shows in two months - meetings with vendors - miles of convention show floors - wheeling and dealing for the catalog. I like the total focus on one thing to be accomplished and then the quiet evenings in the room to read, write and stitch. Recharges my batteries.
Snow played havoc with plane travel this year. I never heard of so many serious storms - ones which disrupted thousands of flights (mine included at both California shows). It make me wonder what we will be facing in upcoming years as the weather becomes more erratic and intense. The snow on our deck is creeping up towards the top of the railing and is near impossible to remove as rain thickens its coat only to freeze again. We will have to wait for the slow spring melt.
British Airways whisked me to London last week for the Stitches Show without incident. After two west coast trips in four weeks, this trip was a quick hop-skip over the water. Two and a half movies later (would finish
Eat, Pray, Love up on the return trip) and I was in a cab in rainy London heading for the hotel.
Thank you, Travelzoo! The Tower deal was amazing and the view from my 7th floor window was the Tower Bridge in all its glory. What a sight. It didn't matter that it rained the entire trip although I would have loved to feel the sun on my face just once.
