Between language barriers, culture wars, and strange people at the airport, your trip is bound to be rife with laughter.
Perfectly Warped
Perfect 24 hours, you say? Somewhere I know? Well then, let's take a little trip inside my mind. I know it well, and I'm delighted to share. Whether you're brave enough to see it though is entirely up to you. Since it's supposed to be idyllic, it's a Saturday with no teaching.

Hammy's 24 Hour Hamster Film Marathon
Let's face it: our beloved pets are not going on vacation. Your dog or cat or small rodent is not going to enjoy a delightful 24 hours in Venice, savor fresh sushi while wearing a kimono for a day in Kyoto, or climb Kilimanjaro and make it back down in time for dinner at a safari camp.

Fuck it, I'm going to Hogwarts
I'm gonna be honest with you. You've asked me to take you on a trip to spend a perfect 24 hours together in a place I know well. I'm a mom of three. Do you know the current state of the economy? I'm not travelling anywhere... and anywhere I've been sure the fuck doesn't feel like the perfect way to spend 24 hours. If that's the case, I'm going to have to submit a blank page. The real world is exhausting. It's endless traffic, crap weather, and everything is too expensive. I can't think of a single real place that's worth writing a story about.

A Day in...Hamilton?. Honorable Mention in Twenty-Four Hours Challenge.
You don’t go to Hamilton; you end up there. I looked over the notes for this Challenge, and I realized that I would have to choose a place that I know too well. Tokyo was a temptation, as was the East End of London, Queens, New York, and a place called Ontario, California (strange to know that there is another Ontario out there). But no, I had to pick something close to me; a place that I cannot escape from.

"There Are Wolves Up There!"
My professor friend K and I went for a hike to the mountains around the town of Mestia in Svaneti, the highest region in Georgia. We wanted to see the Koruldi Lakes near the glacier at the foot of the two-peak Ushba mountain of the Greater Caucasus Range separating Georgia and Russia.

Windsor - going back
Windsor is the warehouse of several good memories. Foremost in that warehouse of memories is the day when, I couldn’t have been more than ten or eleven, my Grandad treated me to a river excursion from Bray to Windsor along the Thames. It wasn’t long before the Round Tower and its flag poked above the tree line. Once I had seen the tower he got me to look towards it, point to it and then close my eyes. A few minutes later he told me to open them and find the castle. Of course, it wasn’t where I was pointing or looking. It had moved because when my eyes were closed the boat had imperceptibly turned a couple of times. Grandad, an accomplished amateur artist, had given me a very good lesson in perspective.

Scarborough in Yorkshire
Scarborough is located on the eastern coast of Yorkshire which coincidentally is the county’s only coast. To many Yorkshire people their allegiance to their home county takes precedence over their allegiance to their country. They even refer to their home county as “God’s own country”. This is one of those phrases that sounds like it has been around for a long time. So long, it has become embedded in the county’s identity and collective psyche as solidly and as old as the cretaceous rock formations that lie underneath Scarborough. It hasn’t. It was first mentioned as a headline for a special edition of Country Life published in 1995 by Nigel Farndale, a son of Yorkshire.
