Despite the fact we've had no snow, I've found myself saddled with the mid-winter blues. Being inside all the time, arguing with myself over what to wear for either a 60 degree day or a 20 degree day and just wanting to throw open the windows and get some fresh air and sun...while all my thoughts turn to San Diego in five weeks, it's going by so sloooowly.
I cashed in two "thank you for posting on Fodors, we've used your quote in another guide book" offers to get two new guide books for myself: Germany 2012 and The Ultimate Safari Planning Guide. Not that I have any intention of doing either this year. Well, ok, let's not kid ourselves here, I am seriously contemplating Germany in September. The safari guide, though, is calling to me. I'd earmarked that trip for The Next Milestone Birthday, but I'm not sure I can wait another 8 years to execute the plan!
Germany is sort of falling into place in my mind. I'd fly into Munich for 4 days or so, fly to Berlin for 5 days (day trips to Dresden and Brunswick for the Vermeers) then fly to Frankfurt and spend a 10 hour layover on the ground there just to see its Vermeer. My sister is thinking of joining me, so it could be the next chapter of the Sisterly Quest for Vermeer tour. We'll see. I have the Boston Globe Travel Show coming up in a few weeks; who knows what ideas I'll find there that will sway me....
