"I&amp;#39;m writing this on a plane to Paris, where I&amp;#39;m headed for Fashion Week. Before you accuse of me of bragging, or even begin to get jealous, know that 1. I am going for Men&amp;#39;s (I cover menswear for Fashionista&amp;#8212;there will be nary a frock, blouse, or culotte in sight) and 2. I am dreading it. I know it sounds crazy; it&amp;#39;s a trip to Paris, and someone is actually paying me to go. Truth. But there&amp;#39;s more to it:\nPinterestFacebookFirstly, this is work. I will not be sitting outside the Sorbonne, sipping cafe au lait and teaching coeds how we stay warm in the cold Canadian winters. I will be running around the city, laptop in hand (until it is inevitably robbed&amp;#8212;probably on the subway, but maybe by brigands, who knows, most of my knowledge of France comes from The Three Musketeers). When I am not running, I will be writing.\nSecondly, I am traveling without a friend, or more specifically, a &amp;quot;special friend,&amp;quot; and I get really lonely when I do so. There&amp;#39;s something about being away from my home turf, either NYC or Toronto, without any sense of home with me, someone who, at the end of the day, will crawl into bed with me, wherever that bed might be.\nFinally, the last time I was in Paris was in springtime, with a remarkable young woman who was a &amp;quot;special friend&amp;quot; and more. We stayed in an apartment with a view of the Eiffel Tower, and did nothing touristy; we just walked around ate. It was probably the most romantic vacation I&amp;#39;ve ever taken.\nHeading back doesn&amp;#39;t fill me with massive amounts of regret&amp;#8212;not a bad breakup; still friends&amp;#8212;but it does make me reflect on the fact that it&amp;#39;s three years later, and I&amp;#39;m here again, but single.\nIs there a particular location that makes you miss someone?
