well, since i cannot right now plan a huge trip for myself, having just made a year-long commitment to volunteer with a little girl, i am lucky enough to have short travel opportunities. i am going to visit my mom in Montana for 4days, a nice relaxing holiday in the midst of a frenzied work period for me.
after that, in Sept, i get to go for job training in sEattle...the thing is i'll have been on the job for 3 months already, so i will kn ow almost everything they'll be teaching me. i figure it will be pretty relaxing, and hopefully not too boring...lots of time in the beautiful city of seattle.
that's my mini-travel plans. any ideas of neat things to see in Seattle would be welcome!

well, i'd just like to invite anyone and everyone who reads this to send a quick whisper of thanks out into the great unknown for all the people on the AirFrance flight who will be making it home alive.

• thank goodness!*

the entire flight, 240ish people, made it safely off the A340 airbus that crashed in Toronto yesterday. that's right EVERYONE on the plane is a-ok, from what i hear!!!!
wow, what a miracle.

one tiny downside of travel...a bit of a gamble sometimes. but if i were to think of that i would go mad from nerves, so i try to ignore it.

all's well that ends well!

later!
