Guess what?
We've just booked airfares to the USA.
We'll arrive in New York on December 21. We'll be in Washington on December 29. We'll be in Las Vegas on December 30. We'll then go to Los Angeles on January 1. Then Honolulu on January 9, before we come home on January 18.
The amount of money I just spent makes me feel a little sick. In a good way.

I am a short subway ride from DC I live in Alexandria, VA I would love to hook up with you in D.C. if you do not already have plans! Show you around a bit :-)! Let me know...Cheers!
Posted by: Stacy at August 3, 2007 12:20 AMI echo Stacy's comments. If you have a spare moment to visit in DC, I'd love to grab a cup of tea.
But even if you don't, let me know if you want suggestions for restaurants, etc.
And congrats on booking such a fun-sounding trip! I'm so jealous!

Posted by: Vicki at August 3, 2007 12:51 AMI'll wave at you as you fly by! I'll probably be at the in-laws in southern IN for the holidays. You'll have a lot of fun (assuming you aren't constantly jet-lagged)!
Posted by: Cathy at August 3, 2007 12:57 AMGee its a big trip. I dont think of long flights how do i cope minus the knitting. need a good few books for me then.
All the yarn you can get better pack light.
Posted by: metal and knit at August 3, 2007 01:50 AMSo close but so far! You'd have more fun in SLC than Vegas;-) It sounds like a wonderful trip.
Posted by: margene at August 3, 2007 02:06 AMWow, sounds like a major yarn-store hop. Have fun.
Posted by: Sue at August 3, 2007 02:39 AMSounds like a good time! When you go to LA, are you going to stay in that area or travel around So Cal a little bit?

Posted by: angie at August 3, 2007 07:36 PMOhhh that sounds like the ticket. Make sure you get quotes on container shipping, it may be cheaper than your excess luggage full of yarn!
Posted by: Rachael at August 3, 2007 09:19 PMThat sounds like lots of fun! :)
Posted by: Samantha at August 4, 2007 12:57 AMI live in NYC; if you'd like recommendations on what to see/do/eat and where to yarn shop, let me know.
Posted by: Michele at August 4, 2007 03:54 AMWow, that's going to be quite a trip! I can't believe you'll spend NY Eve in Vegas - I heard it's CRAZY!!! And of course, Hawaii will be awesome. I'm going to the Big Island in a few weeks and can't wait. Very different from Honolulu of course. Los Angeles will be nice and warm that time of year. We usually go down to LA to visit my inlaws for Christmas. Where in LA will you be? This year, I'm not sure what our plans our since our baby will be born around Thanksgiving. Let me know once you've firmed up plans and maybe we can meet up!
Posted by: Evelyn at August 4, 2007 11:10 AMRemember your walking shoes. Great things to see in Washington DC. One of my fav cities to visit.
Posted by: Diane at August 4, 2007 02:53 PMWhat a trip. I'm sorry you won't be coming to Chicago.
Posted by: Madame Purl at August 4, 2007 03:48 PMHey that sounds like fun. Good for you! :o) Don't think about the money. :o)

Posted by: Lara at August 4, 2007 10:26 PMOh wow!! Count me in?? hehe
Hope you have an awesome trip!!
What a fabulous trip!! Just a perfect way to spend the holidays!
I guess a side trip to Florida is out of the question so either you mail me the shawl or you keep going on your own! :)
Wow, what a trip! I hope you get to see some of the country outside of the cities. I'm really jealous of the the Honolulu portion of the trip.
