The Brothers Duffy and I are booked for a Nice to London one-way (on British Airways, no less) for a couple days of touristy travel at the end of my two-month stint in Cannes this year. So excited to visit a new city/country!

*Sidenote: I’ve always hyped up British Airways in my mind – probably since I’ve never flown it, but it just seems so damn fancy. I’m ecstatic. Take, for example the below ACTUAL pull-down menu from their site that I just had to fill in for our flight booking.

While it’s excitement enough to fill in “Mrs” for the first time ever, I was SO tempted to fill in something like “Viscountess” for my title. I chickened out for fear it would disrupt our travel when my passport inevitably did not match up…but you have to admit, “Dame Duffy” has a nice ring to it…

Also – another random sidebar. I intended to book this $82 flight (yes, $82!!) through kayak.com, but when I got to the payment screen they only accepted Visa and MasterCard. Tisk tisk, Kayak. You lost my business to me booking directly through the British Airways site after seeing that they accept American Express. (Gotta rack up those miles!)

My point with this is – how weird is it that British Airways accepts AMEX, but Kayak, a company based in Norwalk, CT (thank you, Wikipedia), does not? Curious, to say the least.

Anyway, we’re booked – we’re booked – we’re booked! Hip hip hooray! Cheerio! Goodday! Tea & crumpets! Bollocks (wait, no, that’s a bad one…)

Happy Valentine’s Day

Funny Valentine's Day Ecard: Happy Valentine's Day to someone who raised me, loved me unconditionally, and made me almost capable of having a functional relationship.

Valentine’s Day has never meant much to me – so I’m neither happy nor sad today. I do intend to have some good food for dinner tonight, but besides that expectations are pretty low/non-existent.
I DO have something to celebrate though… Dan is now OFFICIALLY BOOKED FOR EUROPE this summer!! Thanks to my expert travel-agent-via-internet skills and about 60k Delta Skymiles that Dan had accrued, he is now booked to enjoy an 18-day European getaway this summer. I’d say that more than makes up for his unfortunate absence last year.
I am extra excited because I am getting to experience new places I’ve never been to before this year – including London and Venice – in addition to sharing with Dan some of my all-time faves (like Cinque Terre and, possibly, Rome – maybe just for lunch).
Anyway, just wanted to share my excitement. Valentine’s Shmalentines……but YAY FOR EUROPE!!!
