While I Was Away ...

Well, if you are still reading, thanks. I've been a little distracted lately. Here's April in a nutshell:

• Spent my birthday weekend in Scotland with some girlfriends. Spotted a highland cow, saw a couple of castles, shopped on Union Street, sipped some scotch at the Glenfiddich brewery, shared some laughs over sheepshagging stories, slept better in 2 nights than I have in 2 years;
• Drove to Paris to meet a girlfriend who was flying in from the States. It took me less time to drive from Brussels to the CDG Hilton than it took her to clear customs and find the airport hotel!;
• Flew to Geneva to meet up with a girlfriend from the US for a spa weekend. She got detained and strip-searched at the German/Swiss border (Now there's a starting blog entry if I've ever seen one!), so she was very much in need of a little rest and relaxation; and,
• Took the train to Paris to spend a weekend shopping with the friend that kept doing laps around CDG Airport in the hotel shuttle bus two weeks earlier. She's much more directional in Galleries Lafayette.

Good times, Good times.
