      Thanks, and I hear you about winter. There are some aspects I enjoy but mostly I could do without winter. LOL

    Oh yes! We are back in Quebec after 2 years of warmth and it is such a treat to welcome fall! I love all you describe about it… the color of the light, the crispness in the air and especially, sleeping with a big down comforter! However, with fall comes the decrease of light, especially here in the North. I pulled my phototherapy lamp out and am crossing my finger that it will allow me to not suffer the effect of SAD.

      I’m thankful to not suffer from SAD. I think I would probably start mourning in fall if that was the case. Hopefully the lamp will help!

    It’s interesting because seeing friends comments on FB right now, there is a small, small part of me, that would like a fall – to wear jeans, boots, and sweaters, and feel the crisp cool air with the warm sun while walking through our old neighborhood in Chicago. But, I think after a few days, I would be ready for warmth again. I’m a sun bunny at heart. I will be in Ireland and England in October and November, so I will get some cool weather, a break from the heat and humidity, although I am assuming I will be chilled to the bone the entire time in cold, wet weather. I am hoping it will make me appreciate the weather in Bali, which certainly isn’t as hot as KL or Hanoi. I actually can wear jeans here at night, and feel the cool breeze on the back of the motorbike. And, there is good coffee. I know you didn’t have a great experience here, but it has enough creature comforts of my former existence to make me not book a ticket for fall in Chicago!

      Everyone is different. I’m glad you’re enjoying your time there! It was pretty hot when we were there. At least in Ubud the nights cooled down quite a bit, and the open air style of things was helpful. During the day, we were very thankful for a pool!

    Growing up in Hawaii we just had one H season: HEAVENLY. I always negatively of Fall, to my tropical mind is was a time of death and sadness. I cried the first time I saw snow. And remember clearly during my first Fall when I breathed in the cool crisp air and the smell of falling leaves and was hit by the realization that Fall was not about death at all, but about a time of rest, pause, reflection, when the flora and fauna tucked themselves into bed and prepared for a new day in Spring.

    I agree with you on wanting to experience the seasons. We’ve discussed going to Asia, but my husband hates the heat… Still, maybe it isn’t so bad in winter??? Where are you heading?

      There are a few places in SE Asia where the heat isn’t absolutely horrid, but it’s minimal. Winter may be cooler than during the rainy season, but it’s still pretty warm.

      In other areas of Asia, you can get a proper winter so won’t have to deal with the heat.

      We’re going to Romania.

    Here! Here! I love the fall season and it just can’t get here soon enough for me. Spring is pretty but really hard on me because I suffer from environmental allergies and I don’t enjoy the summer heat. Hubby enjoys the heat, but I duck for shade every time. Because of our current lifestyle we are learning to travel in the winter and I’m actually liking it. Of course there are places in the world that I would like to see when gardens are in bloom, but winter is not a bad time at all to travel. As you know we spent 3 weeks in Paris in the dead of winter and I don’t think we could have had a better time, nor do I think we would ever return in spring or summer.. fall? Definitely!

      I love Paris in the spring, but I don’t have all the allergy issues either. We’re planning on going back this spring so Tigger can experience it in warmer weather when everything is in bloom.
