From Russia with Love

Things I've learned on my International Woman of Mystery travels, N. Europe 2009 ed., so far:

1) Do not promise your readers thrilling travel photos prior to ensuring that you'll actually have an internet connection swift enough to post said photos (read: Sorry! Will bore you with a few when I return because nothing says love like forcing others to look at your travel pics);

2) If you're feeling insecure about how blonde or healthy you look, I don't recommend Denmark. Once my self-esteem has recovered, I look forward to returning to that gorgeous place (land, people, buildings, beer, etc.) one day;

3) My patented Icy Glare of Judgment has nothing on the dour elderly women manning Russian museum exhibits. I'd take notes, but I'm completely terrified & just want to live to see the Hermitage;

4) When traveling with family, an open mind is good. An open bar is indispensable;

5) A little absence does make the heart grow fonder - missing you, interwebs & all of my Invisible Internet Friends!

I am glad you are having fun!

Also? Denmark is on my list of places to never visit. Solely because they are all blonde and have bodies made for underwear modeling. I resent them from afar.

Kwana said...

Enjoy! Missing you too.

Rachel said...

number 4 just made me laugh. Is not an open bar indispensable all the time? :)

Open bar is totally indispensible while travelling with anyone actually! LOL!

Missed you and welcome back.

Oh No! I am going to Denmark in December! I am neither petite or blonde. Ugh!

LPC said...

So glad you are having fun. Sweden also has many many fantastic looking people. However, there are compensations. Many of them are men.

Man, now I want to go to Denmark. If YOU'RE feeling insecure, I'd be equivalent to the Hunchback of Notre Dame, I'm sure.

The Shabby Princess said...

We miss you too!! Can't wait for a full vacation recap.

When Pigs Fly said...

So glad you have been able to post. Looking forward to travel pics. Yes, I have heard the Nordic peoples are stunning. Not a good place to go if one is suffering from a low self esteem.

icing on the cake said...

Hmmm, Denmark sounds a little bit like being brunette in So Cal :). I love reading about the adventures!

The Mrs. said...

The Denmarkians are my peeps. Glad they're gorgeous!!!

Glad to hear the adventure is going well! Bring us back a snowglobe or one of those Russian dolls that have multiples inside. ;)
