Hello, Voxers.
While I'll probably glance from time to time when I receive an e-mail about what's going on in my neighborhood, I think I'm done with Vox. I've got a nifty permanent account over at LJ, and I just don't see what I get here that's so much better than what I have there to the point where it would merit switching.
It was a fun experiment.
If you only know me from here and would like to read my blog, it's at http://isquiesque.livejournal.com - see you there!
Would you go on vacation by yourself, and if so where would you go?

Absolutely. I have a very, very public job, which wears on the little introvert that lives within me. I adore spending time alone, and try to do it a little each day, but especially now that I'm married that often proves difficult; it's hard to justify time away from my husband when I've been gone from him at work or volunteering or whatever all day. And after all, I adore him.
But back to the original question, yes. Some of my best vacations or vacation moments have been spent alone... bicycling in the south Pacific sun on the sandy roads of Tabuaeran Island in Kiribati with my pants rolled up to my knees... strolling slowly over the Seine across the Pont Alexandre III delighting in each new sculpture... wandering the twisty streets of Cambridge with a camera, taking photographs of doors and windows and centuries' worth of change in architectural detail... watching lava flow into the ocean... watching ice crash into the sea... or hiking in moonlight through the southern Appalachians.
It's always difficult, picking new places to go, when I'm so in love with the places I've been. Venice has been on my mind quite a bit lately as a new destination to pursue. The temples and pyramids of Egypt. Angkor Archaeological Park in Cambodia. More practically speaking, I'd like to have a nice stroll around Cornwall or Vieux-Québec or other amazing places which lie close to where I could stay with family to cut expenses before and after the time alone.

...but mostly I'm just here to read.
