Vietnam photos courtesy of my friend Katie from her relative's recent trip...If you could go anywhere?
That was the question Bryan, the girlies (well Audrey) and I pondered over pizza at our favorite local spot last week. Bryan is more well-traveled than me, having toured Europe pretty extensively after college and living in Turkey for a couple of years, so his dream trips veer to the slightly more exotic... Think Vietnam, Easter Island and Palau.
My sweet francophile Audrey picked Paris. Full stop. She's dying to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower, and I'm dying to take her there. In fact, so much so that (despite having already been to Paris) it's at the top of my list too. Perhaps I'm just not as adventurous as Bryan. (Although those photos above do have me quite intrigued by Vietnam...)
But really at this point, I'd happily settle for a quick Austin getaway.
I've had a crummy past couple of days, including (but not limited to) an über graceful fall up the stairs at work yesterday. Seriously, who falls up the stairs?? Not only was it mildly humiliating, but it was incredibly painful, and now I'm limping around with a goose egg on my left knee. So yes, a little getaway would be pretty nice right about now.
Specifically I'm dreaming of a respite involving a couple of nights at the amazingly cool Hotel Saint Cecilia in Austin... My first love will always be the Saint Cecilia's sister property, the San Jose, but I've been dying to give this place a spin for a while, and after some hotel research with my friend Christine for the Renegade Craft Festival in Austin later this spring, I'm obsessing over it again.
