Man, I've been a busy little bee recently. Yeah, I know I've been a big blog slacker, at least here on Gone To Plaid anyway. I've been trying to market the heck out of my new book The List. I just posted an excerpt from the book, btw, so check it out.
I didn't mean to ignore my travel blogging. Mostly, there wasn't anything exciting to blog about, but now there is!
We've just booked our next trip, to a place I never thought I'd want to go but now that I've researched it I'm stoked about going!
Where am I going?
Well, let's play a little blog game. Why don't you GUESS where I'm going, and then I'll tell you all about it in the next post?
13 Hints as to Where I'm traveling next:
1. Matt Lauer has been here
2. Wind is a big energy source here
3. It's a sailor's town
4. It's run by a monarchy, sort of
5. English is spoken, but it's a second language
6. One of the earliest "stock exchanges" was started here
7. Mind-alteration is openly accepted
8. Sex sells
9. A good way to see the city is by boat
10. I'll be sightseeing by bike as well
11. There's a flower garden here that gets more visitors between late March and May - 800,000 - than it gets all year.
12. I'll get to see Van Gogh's "Sunflowers"
13. Their shoes can NOT be comfortable!

Amsterdam? Holland? Italy? If I keep guessing maybe I'll hit on it.
Holland? I thought of Holland too because of the shoes thing, but I'm not sure about the rest of the hints.
I'm pretty sure it's Amsterdam. Lovely place, I'd like to go there again. Maybe this summer, since I'm only a few hours drive away.
Oh, happy TT! :)
I think it's Amsterdam too, but the country is The Netherlands. ;) There is this travel show on PBS that I watch sometimes...Globe Trekker I think it's called. And they went there to this sort of commune/city where they think pot is okay, but are against "hard drugs."
I went and looked up that show...yes, it's Globe Trekker...but I can't find the right episode. I've looked through all the ones by the presenter that I think did it, but none of them are her in Amsterdam. Oh well, maybe she went to Sweden instead.
Amsterdam isn't really a sailor's town, but that's where Van Gogh's Sunflowers hang. You are very close to me. If you follow the North Sea Channel to the sea, you'll pass our locks. :)
Sounds like Amsterdam! Hey and I can never find myself and I found you!!!
You're going to Amsterdam!
Oh, how I'd love to go to Amsterdam if it weren't for my paralyzing fear of Sunflowers...
Enjoy your trip!
I have no idea but have a Great Time on your trip!
Amsterdam or Sweden... Maybe Norway?
I'm jealous. I have been to Holland only once, and I'd love to go back again.
Yeah, definitely sounds like Amsterdam. Great place. Hope you enjoy it.
Have fun in Amsterdam! Im up with Veeery cute TT! Up with WoW in Thornesworld
Happy TT!
