Barcelona

I just heard back from the event planner, and there's a good chance I'll be invited to speak at the conference in Barcelona. I'll know for sure in the next few weeks. I just checked out prices from Barcelona to Paris because hello - it's on the way to Italy from Spain...it would be downright irresponsible of me to skip over Paris on my way...probably even RUDE! :) Anyway, I found a one way flight from Barcelona to Paris for $38!

So the new plan would be to stay in Barcelona for a few days, then Paris for a few days, and then Italy for a week. I'd stay longer, but we'll miss our little doggy too much. We can take a train from Paris to Venice in 4 hrs, or a quick flight, depending on cost... we'll stay in Venice for 2 days, and then onto the villa in Tuscany...not sure where yet...

I'm getting ahead of myself, as I don't know if they'll even select me to speak in Spain, but that would be exciting! I'm having a wonderful time lately, and I only wish I'd gotten laid off sooner! (JK)

I'm not surprised about the flight from Spain to Paris - Catherine's family hops all over Europe, really cheaply! I think you'd be foolish to miss this opportunity if everything falls into place.

Have you read the happiness blog on Slate? I think you might like it - there's some overlap with "choosing joy." I'm not sure exactly what to say about the author (Gretchen Rubin) - she's a little bit goofy and prissy. But I get some good ideas and inspiration from it!
