So are you traveling for Easter (April 12th)? Or are you going to be home? Wherever you'll be what's the location??

I'm actually traveling that day so I'm going to be in Tres Lagoas, Brazil during the first part of the day, Campo Grande, Brazil in the evening, and then to Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia by about midnight. hyper.gif

Currently traveling the world for work...with a few extra fiddleybits thrown in to keep it new...it's the cheapest way to go!!!

Quote from my friend Chuck, who spent 5 months riding his bicycle all the way around the USA - "Nobody says you have to order an entree in the restaurant of life, you'll only be here once! Order the sampler, try as many as you can before you're full; odds are one (of) the items on this menu does more for you than you ever thought. And if I'm wrong, tell the waiter that his menu sucks, throw the cook aside and invent your own masterpiece. Just pour 'em all in, all your favorite ingredients. With enough imagination, any combination will work -- there are no recipes for the paths still awaiting discovery."

I don't celebrate either, but I sure do enjoy the chocolate. They go all out for Easter here though. You'll probably have more fun in Thailand than I'm having here (working). Also, try to stay dry wink.gif Are you going to a wat too?

Excellent weekend to have it!

I will be relaxing in county Kent for the weekend - maybe I will go and visit a National Trust property and just get some good country fresh air.

Well, as of about 10 min ago, I made the decision to go up and see my family in Northern California. I will be making the 7 hr drive on Easter. I will give my kids their simple Easter gift that morning before we leave. DH will be leaving that same day to go to Paris and Geneva WITHOUT me...the nerve of him! wink.gif
