I’m back! Back in LA. Finally! Back from working 6 days straight. Back from flying back and forth across the country 8 times in 8 days!
DAY 1: Commute to NY
DAY 2: Work NY to LA
DAY 3: Work LA to NY
DAY 4: Work NY to San Diego
DAY 5: Work San Diego to NY
DAY 6: Work NY to San Francisco
DAY 7: Work San Francisco to NY
DAY 8: Commute back to LA
Now it’s catch up time. Clean the house time. Stock the fridge time. Buy a new video camera time. You get the picture. Soon you may be getting the video. So while I’m playing catch up, you can go to Gadling.com and see my VENICE: CANNAREGIO GALLERY of photos and read all about my vacation to Venice by clicking the following link – GALLEY GOSSIP: FLIGHT ATTENDANT VACATION: VENICE (CANNAREGIO), because when a flight attendant takes a vacation, it’s not your typical vacation. And while you’re over there reading that, you can also read all about SNACKS ON THE PLANE, because I wrote about that, too, based on my 3 hour delay from San Diego to New York when I found myself starving, like the rest of the passengers. So while you’re doing that, I’m going to be busy doing all the things I don’t really feel like doing. It’s catch up time.

Hello Skydoll,
Thinking you would need a relaxing and funny book after such a tiring
working life, I thought of suggesting to you THE SECOND VENICE
by Askin Ozcan, which falls in line with your interest in Venice.
http://www.outskirtspress.com/thesecondvenice
The book was No.1 among top listed books in Italy Magazine (U.K.)
last year and is selling at 200
internet shops incl. http://www.bn.com
and amazon.com, as well as at choice sites like http://www.archinect.com
