If you could get away right now, to a place of your choosing, with no regards to schedules, kids, families, work or money, where would you go? San Diego? Paris? A tiny, nearly unknown Hawaiian island?

At this moment, I would love to go to Pittsburgh. London, England and the country of Scotland are my “ultimate” destinations, but the stress factor associated with getting passports and booking flight tickets and having to get on a plane (have I mentioned my fear of heights?) and navigate my way around a foreign country is a little much for me right now. Pittsburgh, on the other hand, does not require passports or new currencies. Pittsburgh is within driving distance, though the trip is about five hours each way. And I know Pittsburgh. Dan and I have a lot of great memories associated with Pittsburgh. I can’t wait to go back! Dan and I are planning a tentative weekend trip there in January or early February. I really hope it works out!
