Travel Channel

the show's on at 3 and you don't get home from school until 3:30? seems pretty obvious to me. SKIP SCHOOL.

(comments of Miss Brown do not reflect the opinions of Travel Channel)...

I get this question a lot as you can imagine. I believe I answer in detail in the very first Samantha Responds forum. In a nut shell there is no distinct path to what I do. It was all very "right place, right time."

I feel like I know everybody but we haven't all personally met. It's seems like we should have a big get together doesn't? Maybe one big pot-luck dinner. got your email and a pic is yours. I would be extremely flattered to have you draw me especially considering what your criteria is

would you get to the point?

Orsin is quite depressed. His owner was homeless and finally got himself into a shelter so that's how he came to Kittykind. Cats I believe are the only animals who will purposefully starve themselves to death (is that right Kelvm?) so it's something we are worried about. However, he get's an endless amount of unconditional love and we have definately seen this before-and we haven't lost a cat yet! thanks for asking.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have certainly heard of the Canyon Ranch and seeing that Great Hotels is going on a year long hiatus I will have to do some "research" on my down time.

Now I Know why! I believe we used somebody's personal vehicle because it was just to awful to drive up to that gorgeous hotel in one of the production mini vans that I'm sure you see me in often. A lot of times will rent a cooler more appropriate car for the day but we were up in the mountains no where near a rental place.

Hey Sam!

Thanks for the reply. Luckily, this week is Spring Break, so I get to watch Great Hotels every day this week! Do you think that you can call my school and tell them to let us watch GH in school.? I mean, it's educational. You take us to different places and we you tell us about the places you visit. So, now that you have done Beach Week, do you get a break? After all that work, you deserve one. I am so excited. My family and I are going to Disney this weekend. We are staying at Coranado Springs Resort. I can't wait! It's a Mexican themed hotel. Would you like to join us? I am sure you could get Travel Channel to let you do a show on the hotel.

Wow, i think this has been one of the most successful forums to date. Note to Captuttle: dramaqueen and chicagoboy are giving you a run for your money with length and quantity of posts And I must say it's very rewarding to see the friendships that have developed and continue while I'm gone. If you all want to keep in touch you can chat on the Samantha Central forum.

Also I COMPLETELY forgot to tell everyone. I am doing a Cruise show for the Travel Channel. I'll be on a 12 day mediterranean cruise in May-not sure when it will air but will keep you posted. Unfortunately because of the cruise I will not be able to attend the Emmy's.

... I will no doubt be crying over champagne and lobster on the Lido deck.

So LOng!

Well, thank you very much, Sam, for your reply to my note along with those to all of the people who wrote you this week. It's been great fun reading over this little cyber community and knowing that there's an energy like yours that makes it happen! Maybe someday you will offer one of those "celebrity trips"---you know, where everyone who wants to pay their way comes along with a certain personality on a vacation cruise or a wildlife trek or tour of the sacred sites of the Ancient World, et cetera. Regis does it---why not you?? Of course, it would have to be the sort of trip you could really get behind. How about "Great Desserts of the French and Italian Riviera"? With overnight stays at towns known for their chocolate creations? It would have to be a cruise, and there would be a fully equipped gym on board, to prevent the tragedy that so often follows a really great vacation: unwanted pounds.
Wishful thinking therapy has finally worked today, as the sun has just come out. I live alongside a river in the Pacific Northwest, so I spent the day outside getting that vitamin D and chasing away the last of the winter blues with blooming cherry and magnolia trees on either side of my little meadow, which has grass so green it glows like emeralds. I said good bye to my wild red-tailed hawk, Tennerin, who stays here every winter and comes when I call (after seven years of talking to him from the back deck, I finally started leaving him bits of steak three years ago, and now he's my bud!). He's off on his annual migration to wherever he nests during the summer. So summer doesn't seem far away, now. I'm considering a trip to the Florida Keys or Hawaii when my current project ends, and I may follow one of your leads.
Five hula lessons, only? You've got an aptitude for the dance. Keep up the good work. My latest foray into dance (bellydance lessons for the past 5 months) has given me the knowledge that this is something I'm really bad at. Truely inept. And practice, of course, makes me worse. So it's back to jazzercise, where it's so crowded nobody notices when one only gets two out of eight steps right, on average. I may not catch you on a forum again, so I'll take this moment tot say that you remind me of a dolphin--(and you know that's the highest compliment for me)because you share with them a most important trait. As Plutarch said of the dolphin: "To the dolphin alone, Nature has given what the best philosophers seek, friendship for no advantage." Best wishes on the Emmy's and have a sunny season of great travels to show us!

Thanks for being with us - and thanks to everyone for participating!
