Great Escape Meme
1. If you could escape to anywhere in the world where would it be?
I love Tucson, Arizona, where I live. My other love is Oahu, Hawaii, where I would also like to live.
2. What song do you play when you are by yourself in the car?
I listen to audiobooks whenever I drive. It makes the time fly!
3. If you had a night to yourself, and money was no object, what would you do?
Scrapbook. I love doing it and money would not change that!
4. What is your guilty pleasure?
Pepsi, and lots of it.
5. What is the farthest place you have traveled away from your home?
New York/Hawaii (equidistant, although in opposite directions.
6. Last book that you couldn't put down?
Saving Fish from Drowning, by Amy Tan
7. When you want to escape into another time, what movie do you watch?
I don't know about "another time," but when I want to escape I watch While You Were Sleeping, with Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman. I thought the chemistry between them was palpable.
8. What is your favorite local escape?
My book group (Book Babes) which we threaten to rename because it is, first, tea served in real china cups with saucers; then discussion about the book; culminating in a rich and fattening dessert (with more tea). With only four of us (purposely) in the group, there is a sense of comfort and stability. [SIGH] It is a once-a-month haven.
9. How do you escape on a budget?
I "borrow" money from my husband. ;-)
Best food you've ever had while on vacation.
That was at a very fine restaurant in Newport Beach, California, about 25 years ago. I only remember that the name started with an "A." It was so good, I've never forgotten it. I remember ordering the mahi mahi (which was still okay to do at the time, before we decimated their numbers). And, also, there were velvet footstools for the ladies! I've eaten in other very nice restaurants, but never where EVERY LITTLE THING, including the food, was actually first class.
Best,
Lori
