flying away

we're off halfway across the world for the next couple of weeks, so if i'm a bit absent from your comment boxes, please forgive me, but work (and a little relaxation time with the family) calls. i've scheduled the last secrets, so there's no missing out on those while i spend the better part of two days getting to disneyland singapore. i'm so close to the end, i couldn't give up now.

i'll try to find time to sneak in the odd post (if only a few pictures, since i intend to take lots) while i'm away. otherwise, don't write too much while i'm gone. i'll miss you!!

keeping you busy while i'm working

because i'm on the road all day today, i give you friday link love:

• check out the top ten "geek" hotels in the world--for the gadget lover in you. and because you can never really get enough of cool boutique hotels. or little pods in tokyo.
  
• because your pictures look SOOO awesome here. go, download this immediately, it's free, it's awesome, you won't be sorry.
• because i'm reading it and you should be too if you haven't already. the enchantress of florence. be prepared to be enchanted.
• because they're beautiful and you know you want some:

• worn--because it's about fashion and it's a 'zine.
• because this is some seriously rockin' ribbon and you always wanted to learn german.
• you are so gonna wanna try to make some of these, honeybees.
• we could all use a little uzbek pillow in our lives.
• they have a sale going on, but really, i go there just to read the descriptions. my dream job (other than being a stewardess) would be to write for them.
• because going here will never, ever fail to inspire.
• and neither will here. where else can concrete buildings and a glass of ice water make your heart sing?

that should keep you busy while i'm away. catch ya on the weekend, when i'm going to collect smooth stones on a beach near a very good friend's house.
