Alright, the Prince story. My boss at the time was permanently thrust into the 90's. Not how fashion is reworked these days, but bonafide old school. She had the biggest crush on Prince, maybe cause they looked eerily similar. We were at a bar in d/t Minneapolis when she had the idea to storm Paisley Park at midnight. The rumor mill was that Prince gave moonlight concerts to rabid fans camped outside his door. Then we got drunk and forgot about it. Or she did, I don't remember drinking much in those days.

Funny, I just saw Up in the Air this past weekend. I think the ending was majorly open-ended. He took a chance on something, but ended up disappointed. I'm betting his character actually changed dramatically from that incident and won't even view travel the same, which was superior throughout the movie. I'd say Ryan got a little humble and human. Hey, just sayin'.

Sorry this tale is so late!

That is what I have been telling you all along Mon, business travels are not proper travels! All my trips are basically meeting, dinner, sleep, meeting, dinner, sleep…

I think if I'd be a horrible businesswoman in Italy. After I eat pasta, all I want to do is nap. Haha!

I LOVED the ending of Up in the Air. Whole movie actually – it was so close to my life it was a little scary (including the family and wedding in northern Wisconsin).

The ending made me happy because it validated my choices (that's the way I took it, anyway).

so funny! likely for me on the few business trips that I made I always went to Italy, my home country, and manage to have some great holidays while doing business over a great meal and spending most of the day sightseeing

This was so cute. LOVE the DD reference. Although I rarely traveled overseas when I worked in an office, I'm definitely guilty of stopping at Starbucks when I'm outside of Italy!
