Cuzco featured in Anthropologie's November 2011 Catalogue

Call me a dork, but as soon as I saw the cover of November's Anthropologie catalogue in my mailbox, I got excited. (It was the equivalent of when you see familiar landmarks from your home city in a movie. I'm sure every resident of Edmonton has watched the Chevy Chase film Snow Day for this reason alone. Some may even go so far as to watch Patrick Swayze in Christmas in Wonderland.)

I immediately recognized the backdrop:

My Flight Memory: July 2010 - November 2011

After finally working off the fondue from my Swiss adventure, I've started another contract with Verge Magazine, this time writing and editing. Opportunities like these are amazing, because it gives me the chance to legitimately (well, almost) squander my time scouring the Internet for interesting travel blogs.

Today's procrastination activity: inputting my flight data from July 2010 to November 2011 into Flight Memory, a site that allows users to generate flight-related data. Travellers can track how many hours they've spent flying, their most common routes and even the seat that they were assigned most frequently. (I'm a window seat gal, myself.) The website also aggregates maps of the journeys taken.
