Hello chaps, it's the Travelocity Roaming Gnome here! A couple of weeks ago, I had the rather distinct pleasure of traveling to London for a few days and good gracious, did I have a smashing time. Thought you might want to see a few pictures from my trip.

Here I am all snuggled up in my fully flat bed on Virgin Atlantic's first flight of the season from Chicago to London. Three cheers for catching a few zzzzzzs on the plane!

I even had a little nightcap before I nodded off. Did you know Upper Class on Virgin Atlantic boasts a bar? Yes, a bar! On the plane! This really must be the 21st century.

Hello, chaps! I got back from Aspen a few weeks ago, and I'm still flying high on the smashing memories of a terrific trip. Honestly, I could have stayed in my super room at the Sky Hotel for the entire time, but Aspen is there to be enjoyed, and enjoy it I did!

Hallo there! It's the Roaming Gnome here. I just go back from a trip to Utah, and boy, do I have a recap for you.

Hello there, Window Seat Readers! It's the Travelocity Roaming Gnome here. I’ve just got back from a trip to Banff, which was a splendid antidote to a nasty case of cabin fever I’d been battling. Despite worrying that my beard might freeze upon stepping off the plane in Calgary—only a 90-minute drive from Banff!—the weather was pleasant and sunny.

Chaps, I have two words for you: Fried Butter.

When I heard they’d be serving it at the State Fair of Texas last weekend, I knew I had to pop over to Dallas and see what all the fuss was about. A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips, you say? Bah humbug! I defy you to try Fried Butter without swooning. And just for kicks, I had a slice of Fried Pizza too. Calories, schmalories. If fair food is wrong, I don’t want to be right.

Hello chaps, it's the Roaming Gnome here!

You might have seen me on the television recently---if so, I'd like you to know that the camera really does add ten pounds. I'm that loveable travel scamp who's always roaming the world and finding smashing deals for people like you. Remember me? The pointy red hat should jog your memory.

Anyway, the editors of this fine blog, The Window Seat, have been terrific sports and are letting me pop in here to write a guest post about my summer vacation. You may have heard, you see, that I spent the summer gallivanting about the country, relying on America to vote where I should travel next, and updating my Facebook page and Twitter feed from each destination. Here are my seven favorite moments from the trip.

What I Did on My Summer Vacation by the Roaming Gnome

1. Got a tattoo in Chicago. Gosh, was that ouchy!
