I was en route to Paris. I've been feeling the anniversary of this trip creeping up on me for a couple weeks now and must say that it is a bit painful for me.
Once again, I yearn for the powers of teleportation!
Comment Window Tidbit: I think having a trip like this to anticipate or remember fondly is such a gift. But as it gets farther away from me, I definitely feel pangs of intense nostalgia and longing.

I had no idea you were pained about this! It still seems almost like a dream that you came to visit me twice in Paris! Ooh la la. Good thing we have so many photos of the experience, eh?
I wish my Paris trip had been a better experience. I want to be able to go again without the extra people from school and the visual of someone (from school) trying to hit on my husband everyday. I think that is why I never finished posting about it.
I have these same feeling about Hawaii. I long to go back. My sister just did and I was so sad when I knew she was loading on the plane. It was such a relaxing escape for us.
Anniversaries like this are painful aren't they?
Does looking at your photos and blog posts help or hurt? If it doesn't hurt too much, maybe honor the date by reading back through them and reliving your trips for a bit.
And don't forget your Paris walks--what was your term?--even in your own town/area.
I remember you going to Paris and it feels like yesterday. I can totally relate to this post! We went to Italy 3 years ago in October. Now every fall I long for the excitement and magic of that trip. I love having a trip to look forward to, no matter how far in the future it is. I am starting to dream of a trip for a year or so from now when Bennett is old enough to leave him.
And your labels kill me--"It Burns Us." Awesome.
Welcome to the TRAVELERS....world...once you taste it...NOTHING is the same ever...and that goes for the good and for the bad.....
Jill, thank you so much for my birthday card and cd. You are awesome and I love the music. Good luck with your interview! And keep dreaming of Paris. Once you go you keep returning. You will get back there again!
Ooh, I understand your pain all too well. For me, it's weddings. Each time someone gets married it triggers a 'what the hell are you doing with your life, you stupid fat cow?' depressive mood. Even if I'm feeling great about my life, that day comes and it's like a sad bomb explodes in my heart. Anyhow, I guess it's not the same as what you're going through, but it reminded me of my issue because it was a dreading an upcoming day kind of situation.
You know, I have to admit that another reason that I wait to comment is because I can speak more honestly since chances are you'll be the only person who reads what I write! Hope no one reads this one. Embarrassing.
