Vacation So Far! In A Nutshell...

I LOVE NYC! Never a dull moment, especially when driving... Speaking of, some adventures so far: drive to Newark on Wednesday, Mario has to go on an overnight trip and I have to meet him at the airport to get the keys. I bounce the front left wheel off a curb while looking at iPhone GPS and lose the hubcap. I was also lost... Party with flight attendants till dawn. Car got towed: $200. Barhopping Hell's Kitchen, NYC, run into Chris Fasulo at Valada. Party till dawn again. Drive to NYC Friday, forgot my phone charger at Mario's. U-turn at the Holland Tunnel. Construction, rush hour, lost, Meadowlands. How did I get here?? Met Deana Hare from SHAPE for dinner, over 2 hrs late. Great catching up! Congrats on Baby Boy due in the spring! Can't believe it's been almost 20 years... Drive to Brooklyn and meet Michael Milliken-Moon, Eric Milliken-Moon's husband. Went to high school with Eric at SHAPE, as well. Eric is on a trip, Michael and I hang out after bringing in my stuff from the car. In the pouring rain from the giant storm that rolled in as I pulled up. Soaked... Gracie and Hugo meet, and they are both the alpha. I coupe of fights ensue. Take turns caging the dogs... Michael goes to bed, Eric gets home late and we chat over the last (almost) 20 years. Up in the morning, take the dogs to Central Park. It was 97F... Very hot day. Pick up Michael at work and drive down the East side to the Brooklyn Bridge. I'm such a tourist, taking pictures of everything with my iPhone. I'll get them uploaded. Promise! Lunch, naps, shower, dinnertime. Who knows what's next for tonight, but Eric sounds ready to go out! I'm up for another round! Tomorrow--Marshfield, south of Boston to stay with April and NIck for a week. Can't wait! Cory flies in on Thursday and we're all going to a Tigers/Red Sox game. Cory and I in Detroit, April and Nick in Boston attire. It'll be a great time! While I'm at April and Nick's, I need to refresh my studying and get ready for back to school. Practice my damn consomme... I'll also get going back with the blog! Sorry to leave you hanging, but this is my first vacation in 7.5 years, and I'm seeing family as well as friends from high school, college, the Air Force, post-Air Force San Antonio, and ran into a friend from the Hudson Valley. Every chapter of my life from high school, on... What a great time!
