Where would you be?

I was sitting on the streetcar today gazing out the window...


...and that's when my mind started wandering to, well, other locales. Wouldn't it be nice, I thought, to be accompanying my brother on that United States/Mexican road trip he's on. Or, it sure would be great to be hopping on a flight to Bali, just like that woman who I talked to last week about S.E. Asia. Then, my little daydream got me wondering, what do other people think? So I asked some folks the question: "If you could be anywhere but here, where would you be?" Here's what I found out (and thank you to you all!):

"Paris, sitting at Le Sévigné in the Marais." — Virginia Gaviller.

"New York, for love and fashion." — Kimberley Brown.

"Tahiti. I've never been, and always wanted to go. If I win the lottery, I'm retiring there. Besides, it's a French territory, so has excellent healthcare for my golden years, and there's no fear of civil unrest like in nearby Fiji." — Darren Simonelli.

"Driving with the top down through the Coachella Valley desert on our way to Palm Springs on a warm spring evening." — Arren Williams.

"Kelowna, where we're going skiing in March. I've never skiied out West and I'm really looking forward to skiing a mountain, as opposed to the smaller hills at home, and skiing for seven days in a row and hanging around in my long underwear." — Claudine Quinn.
