Re #6) I’ve done some web based courses with writers of women’s self help books before and really liked them. It seems pretty lucrative for the author/instructor. If you did one on time management, you’d have some pre-reading, then people would “meet” you online (via zoom or appear, etc) during the set classtimewhere you would talk, coach individuals on screen for a bit, give some homework, whatever – say once a week for 8 -10 weeks and each participant pays several hundred dollars (and up, depending on the offering) and you control how many people sign up, what your role in the course is (i.e., you can have an admin person handle all but the speaking on camera and curriculum), etc.

#38) Iceland Air often does specials where you route through Reykjavik with a “free” (no additional cost) stopover (for up to a week) on the way to/from Europe. We did this with a one year old a few years ago when we were moving back to the US from Europe. It was a nice break in the trip and could pair well with Denmark.

@Cindy- hmm… horse smells are most definitely not my favorite. Maybe I will visit a different part of northern Michigan 🙂

@Beth C – I agree that it would be a fun family exercise, particularly for families with older kids. My husband isn’t big into lists like this, though I know he has a few things he’d like to do (go diving in Truk or other places in the Pacific, go frequently to Texas A&M football games, skiing in cool places). Definitely my 11-year-old could start researching a list like this. We do ask for suggestions when we’re planning trips and activities so we can incorporate the kids’ interests.

@ZM – thanks for the tip! I have hopes that the media I’ve done in Australia over the past few months will someday lead to some speaking gigs there. We shall see 🙂

@Cb- those are all great places to visit in the US. If you’re doing Yosemite and San Diego, maybe do a northern CA visit as well. There’s so much right around the San Francisco area – cultural and natural (and wine-related).
