Nothing much to report on the story front, though I’ve got some (hopefully) good ones in the works, but I do have a travel update: After lasting nearly three months (!) without straying more than 100 kms from Whitehorse, I’m packing up my suitcase again for a two-week spin around Vancouver and the Pacific Northwest. Looking forward to seeing some family and friends, filling my shopping and ethnic-eating quotas for awhile, researching a story – and maybe even catching an Olympic event or two.
Things are rolling along as usual at World Hum. If you haven’t already, I’d urge you to check out this hopeful essay about Haiti’s Hotel Oloffson, published a few days after the quake.
After this weekend’s Saints Superbowl victory, I also came across this fantastic video of a Magazine St. victory party – must-see TV for NOLA fans like myself.
Oh, and for anyone keeping score? I just did some housekeeping on my blogroll. As always, it’s a work in progress – travel writing friends, let me know if I’ve missed you.
Eva- I can’t believe it’s been three months already! I’ve enjoyed your tweets about wood-chopping and the Yukon photos you’ve posted on Facebook. Though I’m not woman enough to brave the elements of Whitehorse, I could envision myself in a onesie (thanks for the buying rec, but I do think that the onesie might be a Yukon Wal-Mart specialty item. 😉
Have fun on your trip!
How time flies, eh? Glad you’ve been vicariously enjoying. I should pass through the big city en route to Barbados in April – we’re past due for a lunch date, I think!
Eva, thanks for including me and my new, fledging blog. I am very touched!
A trip through Vancouver and the Pacific NW sounds beautiful right about now — especially after a winter of wood chopping and below zero temps. Three months is when I really start itching to go…just about anywhere. Have fun!
Thanks, Simone! And happy to have you on my blogroll!
