To sleep is to dream

I awoke this morning to something new. A chill in the air that made me want to stay put. To snuggle into the covers and relax. To wrap up in a cocoon. A feeling of comfort and excitement for what the winter is to hold. Having such little winter in Atlanta, I fell in love with New York's the first I spent here. And today, it was a rekindling of that New York City spirit. Anything is possible, your dreams all possible.

On a plane

Have I mentioned that I love traveling? It doesn't matter where, just take me away. I've been looking back on photos I've taken and think I'm going to do an airplane series. Maybe in Japan?? Turns out I take more photos in flight than on the ground. And maybe, just maybe it'll be interesting for people other than me.

Random notes from Playa del Carmen

We are staying at a resort, all-inclusive, quite nice for my usual standards for travel housing, amenities. And here are a few tidbits from the first few days.

1. There are ashtrays on the toilet paper roll holders just in case you have to use both hands.
2. Take a gypsy cab from the airport and pay half price.
3. Never take the elevators. That's where the mosquitoes lay in wait.
4. Enano is the word midget in Spanish.

More later.

More travel

We touched down in the Cancun airport today, headed south to Playa del Carmen. In a taxi cab, our driver asked if we wanted to stop at the 7-11 for some beer. Ha. As though that were even a question. And how funny. Who'd have expected a 7-11 on the side of the road?

I love traveling. It doesn't matter where, when. Just absorb me in something new and different.
