I have discovered that I am completely and truly a creature of not only habit, but of the "e" age. I was without phone and interent (OH NO!) for a total of 5 days and it was horrible! You know how with the power out and you keep flicking the light switch without thinking?? Well, that was me for five days. I kept grabbing for my laptop to search, e-mail, watch a video or any of the dozen things I tend to do every day on-line, and I did it over, and over, and over. Obviously I am not trainable any more.
But now I am reborn again and all is well. The slight interruption I mention was of course that.. but also I have (what I promise is) a slight interruption to my Scotaly planning due to planning for a NYC trip. I prefer to call it a training run so Dee doesn't think I'm a trader. My friends Barb & Sue (from Nevada) and I are going to NYC on Feb 11-16 to go to the Westminster Kennel Club dog show at Madison Square Garden. (woohoo!) I have gotten practice in finding and booking a reasonable hotel ($115/night for the 3 of us to share which is NOT bad at all for Manhatten), Sue found RT tickets from Sacramento to JFK for $300 each - also NOT bad at all. Food of course will be outrageous.
We still have to buy tickets to the dog show and we need to go to a show on Broadway while there. My vote is for Billy Elliott. My physical therapist was raised in Manhatten and gave me a GREAT tip regarding picking up show tickets. There is a booth in Time Square where you go 'day of' and you can find show tickets for from 20% - 70% off. Fantastic. I've always believed it's not what you know but rather who you know that saves the day!
I promise to use this trip as a practice run on packing lightly (although it will be friggin' freezing in NYC).
