Hairdog,

Tell us where that lucky B&B is and we'll have it booked from now till next Spring!
I know that there's just something about being home that often stresses out my W. Walls are still the wrong color paint and the basement always needs to be cleaned. She loves to travel; it's her job (a flight attendant). I love it, too, but we don't have a lot of romantic getaways. Once I said I'd like to accompany her on a trip she was working, and her response was, "But that's the only time I get to relax!"
I'm glad to hear about your good news. Do you think there's a chance for you to schedule more time away, perhaps even without the classes? Oops, sorry, am I living vicariously through you?

Paul, who would take a weekend at a B&B two hours drive from home over a Paris hotel any day
