I’m currently working on a massive London/Paris wrap-up. I had about two days worth of our trip done while working on the plane when my laptop battery died and I was forced to watch an episode of “Everyone Hates Chris” in order to drown out the screams of the infant three rows behind us and the cries of the little girl sitting right in front of us. Now I’m jet-lagged and tired and in no position to write anything about anything.
So, to tide you over before the munificentness that will be my travel diary, here are a few random musings.
- Apparently I neglected to tell my friend Brian that we would be leaving the country. He sent me an article for the Cleo newsletter that I’m putting together and then followed up with a phone call. Then, we he didn’t hear from me in almost a week, he started to worry that something bad had happened to me. Oops. Note to self: look into using an automated vacation notice reply email on personal email account lest I return from my next trip to the site of myself on a milk carton.
Something like this…

Click for Full-Size - I don’t understand why child tickets on planes are cheaper than the fares for us regular adults. They still take up a full seat and they are way more annoying to their fellow passengers than any adult (except for any adult who has chugged an entire bottle of duty free vodka). Therefore I think that any child should cost at least three times times as much as a regular fare. Four times if they’re teething. Only two times if the parents agree to tranquilize them ahead of time. :p
- Apparently my nephew started crawling, standing up on his own and eating solid food over the weekend. I always said that the kid was advanced!
That’s all I have for now. I’m totally exhausted. Time to watch some crap tv and go to bed early!
