If only our train system was better in the U.S., I would spend a lot less time in my car!

Almost 13 years ago, I went to China while I working for Semester at Sea. We visited with students at Peking University and one of the students wrote this for me on some rice paper which I got mounted. This was the beginning of a real love affair with travel. I am getting the itch again and dreaming about places like the Maldives, Belize, Thailand. I need to play the lottery more! Yes, I know I already travel more than most for work but I just want to travel for fun fun fun!

This is my first full week back on the road for work and although I already did several visits, this was my first hotel stay of the semester since I stayed with friends and family last week. I am on the road about 3-4 days a week during each semester and spend a lot of times in hotels. I thought in honor of my "Road Warrior" life it would be appropriate to have photos from time to time of the hotels I stay in. They are usually pretty nondescript but when I walked into my hotel room today in Portsmouth NH, I saw a lot of my favorite color. Can you tell what it is?

...in my hands.

As I prepare for my "road warrior" life to begin again, I thought it appropriate to photograph a small globe ornament we have in our home. While I can't say I am eager to start driving hundreds of miles a week again, I am excited to share the world with college students. My job advises students, faculty and staff at colleges and universities around the northeast about the options we have for study abroad with Arcadia .
