Been Around the World and I-yi-yi-yi

Yes my people, I am back from my whirlwind word tour. As much as I would love to just leave my lovely Parisian dinner as the top entry, I realize that fresh content makes the world go around...so I am back, blogging my life away.

A few things I learned:

• Paris is a good time even when you work an 80 hour work week (including the 4th o' July, Saturday and Sunday).
• Fois Gras makes everything better...and wine makes everything better than fois gras.
• Flying 12 hours with a hangover is the single best and worst way to travel. The whole "I can't sleep on a plane" issue really becomes a non-issue. However, the whole "need to stand in a 45 minute line to get through passport control" issue really is much more difficult than you could have ever previously imagined.
• The Foo Fighters ROCK...I mean serioulsy. They rock.
• Even if it's sunny and warm in Paris and Seattle it can still be mind numbingly cold in Anchorage. Always bring a sweatshirt and coat. Even in JULY. You will need it.
• Driving an F-150 kinda suits me. Srsly. You really can't take the Alaska out of the girl.
• A day trip to Homer, Alaska is not all it's cracked up to be
• Baby moose and bald eagles are all they're cracked up to be.
• I have a deep seated fear of pretty much everyone shopping at the Safeway in Homer.
• Freaks and Geeks does live up to the hype. I am now joining the ranks of those who are very sad there were only 18 episodes. Pure television awesomeness.

That is all.
