One more day in the U.K.
This morning, I finally got my hot shower. It wasn't raining when I walked to the office and the coffee shop pulled hot scones out of the oven just minutes before I ordered.
Typical how it all falls together the day before I head home.
Tonight, we're venturing to the Dukes Hotel for a much-needed-job-well-done martini.
Tomorrow, 7 a.m., we head back home.

A city girl's search for paradise at home and around the world.
My Blog List
About When in Rome
Whether you travel to another part of the world, or to your next door neighbor's house, there's always something worthwhile waiting. The search for paradise - personal, spiritual and experimental - can be exhausting, but if you have a little fun in your search you never know what you might find. This blog is about those experiences.
About Me
- Frogger
- "Frogger" is a nickname I got after my first trip to Paris, when my overeager self dashed through traffic across a 4-lane rotary, narrowly escaping death in a way that reminded my girlfriends of the quintessential Atari game. I'd like to think I earned a 100-point bonus. I'm a journalist who savors different countries, cultures and life experiences on my path to personal paradise, and I invite you to join me. I promise we won't get run over.
