Even I Need A Vacation sometimes
Yes yes its rare that i even ponder the thought of going on vacation. This year i've only taken a few weekend getaways, and the rest of the year its been mostly seven days a week working, mixing, producing, creating, songwriting, you name it. Its been a crazy year, and a great year, but man I can use a break, and I'm taking it. Right now I'm 38,000 feet above the Atlantic Ocean flying toward Milan, Italy, where I'll get my connector to Rome. I was working in London back in September and took a one day trip to Rome, flew in on a Wednesday morning, and flew back on Thursday morning. One day there and I was hooked. I knew i had to come back, though i didn't think it would be this soon.
I had designs on going to sourthern France and possibly Spain this year, but all that rioting changed those plans. Italy became the new destination, so over the next 8 days I'll be blogging from Rome, Florence, and Venice, Italy. Now, I'll probably talk a little shop while I'm traveling, but I'll probably also be blogging about travel, history, art, culture, etc.... All that boring stuff that you might not care about. tough. its my blog and I'll write what i want to, I'll try to tie some of it to music, I probably will by default as music is mostly what consumes me.
Anyway, I've now landed in Milan Airport and I'm waiting on my Rome connector. Its really odd to see super high end designer clothing shops in a dirty airport, but here they are. I'm not shopping for clothes. I hope to buy some art while I'm in Italy if i find some things that really inspire me. Flying over the Alps at daybreak was pretty darn inspiring. Probably the most beautiful mountain range i've flown over, although flying over the Grand Canyon at 35,000 feet was pretty spectacular, and actually, I've flown through a few mountain ranges in Alaska in a Sessna single engine propeller plane. That was a wild ride. We flew right up close to the tallest mountain in the US, Mt McKinley, and the pilot went sideways at one point so we could look straight down a 10,000 foot sheer dropoff. My lunch almost dropped off at that point but i held it together. I don;t know yet if I'll see the Alps again from Milan to Rome. I think i'll get to. Quite a sight. Anyway, I'm about to board my plane. See you in Roma.
