T'is the season to be travelling

Sunday, December 14, 2008 12:51:03 PM

See the picture in my banner? I took that on a Christmas fair here in Oslo one afternoon. Even though there wasn't any snow, it was freezing cold and by the time I got home I could hardly feel my toes anymore

.
Although I can find motifs like that pretty, I don't enjoy the coldness as much.

Now, set your clock back three months or so. Due to an immense workload, I am not allowed to use any holidays during autumn and I have only used three weeks during the year, leaving me with two. As the new year draws closer, I am now "forced" to have three whole weeks off work...

In conclusion:
Freezing cold + many days off work = me boarding a plane bound for Barcelona tomorrow morning

.

I won't be gone for long, in fact I'll back on Friday already, but I just thought I'd let you know.

r♡serose-marie # Sunday, December 14, 2008 12:56:39 PM

Thanks

I am planning to go around singing both Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballe's parts of Barcelona

KittyliciousZaphira # Sunday, December 14, 2008 1:18:44 PM

So that's what you meant when you said you were travelling south? *feeling slightly disappointed*

Have five great days in Barcelona!

r♡serose-marie # Sunday, December 14, 2008 1:20:30 PM

No, I'll be travelling south again after I come back

.

Thank you

! I'm really looking forward to it. I've never been there before.

KittyliciousZaphira # Sunday, December 14, 2008 1:21:48 PM

Oh goodie!

I haven't been there either, but I'd love to go there one day.

You will be known as "Crazy Tourist With Beautiful Forehead"

I think it's shocking that your airline appears to have sliced your suitcase into 3 pieces

Darkogdare # Sunday, December 14, 2008 2:05:10 PM

Barcelona is beautiful city, I was there in 1992. just before Olympics, don`t miss to climb the Sagrada Familia cathedral tower and to visit oldest part of the city; also.... but I know you will find your way to a lot of nice stuff there

Dark FurieFurie # Sunday, December 14, 2008 2:18:28 PM

I've got that song in my head now.

Miss you Rosie.

r♡serose-marie # Sunday, December 14, 2008 2:34:39 PM

Zap -

Kimmie -

If so, my trip is a success

Mart - Those aren't slices - they are compartments. One for clothes, one for shoes, and one for presents

.

Darko - Those are definitely on my to-do list. I will be staying a block from La Rambla, so I think there will be much walking around

.
Do you have any other insider tips?

Mik - I hadn't heard that song in ages, but I've been humming it for the last hour or so

.
And don't worry - I'll be back with my nonsense in no time

Have fun Rose and wishing you a Merry Christmas... I'll be gone travelling by Friday. So, have a really happy holidays!

Dark FurieFurie # Sunday, December 14, 2008 2:52:15 PM

It's on my list of great songs to share here.

And I'm now blasting it out.

JDjrd2498 # Sunday, December 14, 2008 3:00:15 PM

That is pretty cool, dont have to many margaritas!

r♡serose-marie # Sunday, December 14, 2008 3:01:30 PM

Issy - thanks, and the same to you

.

Mik - I bet you can take those high notes excellently

.

José - Why not

Moesring # Sunday, December 14, 2008 3:45:00 PM

they are commpartments. One for clothes, one for shoes, and one for presents .

But, where do the Martinis go? Or are they in their own separate suitcase?

As the new year draws closer, I am now "forced" to have three whole weeks off work...

Poor you.

I'm surprised the cat hasn't sneaked into the suitcase yet.

She tried to sneak in last time.

r♡serose-marie # Sunday, December 14, 2008 3:49:12 PM

They'd take up too much space in the suitcase, so I'm planning on buying them fresh down there

.

Kitty doesn't have to sneak into the suitcase - there's always room

Moesring # Sunday, December 14, 2008 3:53:27 PM

But what if they have never heard of a Martini before? Surely it is best to be prepared in case the worst should happen.

r♡serose-marie # Sunday, December 14, 2008 3:54:57 PM

True... My plan B is to drink something different then

Moesring # Sunday, December 14, 2008 4:01:55 PM

Drink something different?

:slips some gin and vermouth into the suitcases so she doesn't have to make such sacrifices.

Plus to save space, Moesring doesn't pack the bottles

- he just pours the liquid out of the bottles into the suitcases:

r♡serose-marie # Sunday, December 14, 2008 4:04:38 PM

My clothes! My shoes! Your presents!

Moesring # Sunday, December 14, 2008 4:06:02 PM

At least you've got all the necessary ingredients to make a proper drink now.

Well, you will once you've wrung them out of your clothes.

r♡serose-marie # Sunday, December 14, 2008 4:09:17 PM

I guess I'll be known as "Crazy Tourist With Beautiful Forehead Who Reeks Of Martini" then

Dark FurieFurie # Sunday, December 14, 2008 5:03:26 PM

That's what we call you anyway.

Mrs. HermitessHermitess # Sunday, December 14, 2008 5:25:22 PM

You all are hilarious! I never post comments here, I just read & laugh & laugh!

Have a fabulous trip!!

JDjrd2498 # Sunday, December 14, 2008 5:31:09 PM

Yeah Rose is awesome, Hermitess!

Amen Mik!

r♡serose-marie # Sunday, December 14, 2008 5:36:34 PM

Mik! Well, I guess it could be worse...

Thank you, and welcome Hermitess

. I'm glad you enjoy. The people commenting here are all nuts

.

Awww, thanks José

Don't tell me you've started worshipping Mik?

JDjrd2498 # Sunday, December 14, 2008 5:40:28 PM

Lol no never, he promised the U.S. to Alla in his world conquest instead of me.

Your right about everyone else is nuts on here.

r♡serose-marie # Sunday, December 14, 2008 5:55:55 PM

Bah. There are plenty of other countries to choose from

You do realize that you're one of everyone else, right?

JDjrd2498 # Sunday, December 14, 2008 6:10:43 PM

lol nope am i :aww:

Bad WolfCois # Sunday, December 14, 2008 6:10:54 PM

Have a excellent trip

don't forget your buttmonkey

r♡serose-marie # Sunday, December 14, 2008 6:49:50 PM

José - Yes

.

Cois - Thanks

! But you don't fit in my suitcase...

JDjrd2498 # Sunday, December 14, 2008 6:52:10 PM

Dark FurieFurie # Sunday, December 14, 2008 7:42:52 PM

I've still got Sweden if you want it?

Darkogdare # Sunday, December 14, 2008 7:56:54 PM

Well, I was there for kendo competition, so I didn`t have much time to walk around; I spent some nice time by the monument of Christopher Columbus monument, watching the sea :dreaming of past times:
But you can go to Park Güell if the weather is ok

r♡serose-marie # Sunday, December 14, 2008 8:35:21 PM

No, he doesn't want Sweden

.

Thanks Darko

. The weather isn't supposed to be very good, but at least it's better than here...

JDjrd2498 # Sunday, December 14, 2008 8:54:46 PM

Sure Mik i will take Sweden, how about Norway also. And some Caribbean Island for vacation?

Dacotah # Sunday, December 14, 2008 8:57:52 PM

I wanna come too Rose-Marie.
Have a fun and safe trip.

r♡serose-marie # Sunday, December 14, 2008 9:35:40 PM

That's it, José. You just got North Korea

Carol - Thank you! Now, hop into the suitcase

Bad WolfCois # Sunday, December 14, 2008 9:50:07 PM

You just said you had no space!

r♡serose-marie # Sunday, December 14, 2008 9:52:34 PM

For a buttmonkey!

Dacotah # Sunday, December 14, 2008 10:13:39 PM

You are welcome Rose-Marie.

Hopping in your suitcase.

Cleanclean # Sunday, December 14, 2008 10:17:52 PM

Okay, Ms Freezing Toes ... first thing to do is find a patch of sun and plant your feet in it and get some warm deep into those tootsies!

Have a lovely trip!

r♡serose-marie # Sunday, December 14, 2008 10:56:46 PM

Yay Carol

.

David - Thanks

! I wish it was warmer there now... but a change of scenery will do me good anyway

Dacotah # Sunday, December 14, 2008 10:59:13 PM

Just don't forget to let me out when we get there.

Dark FurieFurie # Sunday, December 14, 2008 11:05:48 PM

Be careful Carol. She trades slaves on these trips.

Why are you against me giving Sweden away Rose?

r♡serose-marie # Sunday, December 14, 2008 11:15:29 PM

Oh... you want to get out too...?

Hush Mik

!
Why? Because I still enjoy going there on holidays once in a while

Dacotah # Sunday, December 14, 2008 11:30:41 PM

Rose-Marie wouldn't do that to me, would she Mik? Hmmmmm.........thinking......how come I have to go inside a suitcase, why not me buying a ticket to sit next to her.

JDjrd2498 # Monday, December 15, 2008 12:37:17 AM

See Carol, the true side of Rose reveled.

Bad WolfCois # Monday, December 15, 2008 12:44:41 AM

So there's no space for a buttmonkey eh

what is occupying the buttmonkey's space?
