The past week has been pretty frozen here in the Northeast. Since I live in one of the lake effect belts off Lake Ontario, I find the snow annoying but expected. It’s the cold that gets me. After a week of temperatures hovering around 0 degrees (the actual temperature, not the wind chill), I’m ready to think about some warmer places I’ve been:
Disney World. Also the happiest place on Earth
Ah, Rome! 70+ degrees the whole time we were there! Plus ITALY!
Taormina, Sicily, viewed from the Castelmola (on top of a mountain – that was a hike!)
Savannah, Georgia, of course.
- St. Lucia. Ahhhh St. Lucia!
And as for the places I’d like to go:
VEGAS! It’s in the middle of the Nevada Desert. I don’t think I’d want to go there in the middle of summer, but it’s quite pleasant in the spring, I hear…
The Grand Canyon, Arizona. I’ll go when it’s warm. 
New Orleans French Quarter. Beautiful.
Aloha, Hawaii! I’ll get there someday.
