On My Radar Screen ~ Positano, Paris and Beyond
Happy Friday!! This has been a VERY busy week for me...my new saying is "when it rains, it pours and when it snows, people plan vacations"! I do love my work - there is nothing better than helping to create a dream vacation for people. However, when I get busy, the one thing that seems to fall by the wayside is my time for reading and commenting on my friends' blogs. Hopefully, I will be able to catch up a bit this weekend.
If this picture of a hillside in Positano doesn't help you shake off the winter blues, I don't now what will!

For those of you who are not on my business mailing list (click on the sidebar to be added), I sent out my monthly newsletter this week with some excellent travel deals and suggestions you might enjoy.
Here are a few things on my radar screen this week...(I apologize for the heavy emphasis on all things Parisian - I guess when I wasn't dreaming of that beach in Positano in the photo above, I was dreaming of Paris a little too much this week!)

Just when I thought I couldn't possibly share another post about Paris, I saw this post on La Tour Eiffel by Elizabeth from Pine Cones and Acorns...How could I not share it?!
And just so you don't think I have turned into a complete Franchophile...

Emily from Splendid Market shares an oldie but a goodie for The Pink Pagoda's "Blue and White Bash" about a stunning home she visited in Mexico. The shades of blue are breathtaking!
We went to see "The Monuments Men" last night...it was very good. With a cast including George Clooney, Matt Damon, Cate Blanchett, Bill Murray and John Goodman, and a fascinating true story about saving the greatest art in the world from the Nazis, how could it not be? I give it two thumbs up!
Finally, don't forget to enter the giveaway for a copy of Paris Letters and a lovely illustrated snail mail letter from Janice MacLeod. The lucky winner will be announced next Friday - Valentine's Day!
Have a very lovely weekend, my friends...wherever you may be wandering!
