I am in such a bloggin mood today. And really, i started this blog for italy but i guess i could use it for other travels too. If so, i must say that this blog needs a whole lot of updates.

For one, I am no longer a bummer. I am lawfully hired, though earning little, its enough for shopping and travels to nearby places. The highlight of 2006 was a diving trip to Bali, and in Dec, a short but truly relaxing break in Phuket.

Haven't planned for 2007 -- since when do i do that anyway. Ok, next week, I will leaving for New Mexico. Work related and there is so much preparation work to do I am going crazy here hence the endless blogging as a break. After NM, i will stop for a few days in San Francisco, would like to visit Berkeley just for old times sake. Maybe have a coffee in the cafe, visit Moe's bookstore - hope that its still there. Ice cream at Cold Stone's, bagel and cream cheese at that little deli near the North Gate. Hike up to the Botanic Gardens, whats the hill called? HOpefully the weather holds. In SF, i hope to visit the Golden Gate bridge, MOMA, the cartoon museum, stuff which i didn't do when i was there in 2002.

Anyway, back to work.

ciao!
