Washington DC!

Well after the expected travel delays, I finally arrived to the nation's capital, Washington D.C. at 2:30p.m. As soon as I got off the bus, I felt the energy and looked at the passengers boarding en route back to NYC with the biggest smile I have ever seen. I looked at my trusty blackberry GPS, which made dupont circle a quick walk from Chinatown (NOT!!). Before I reached my first block, a black man looked straight into my eyes and said with the biggest smile, "Have a great day!". I can only imagine how amazing yesterday must have been but alas I was in NYC getting my unemployment income processed.

I'm sitting at the trendy Starbucks in the heart of Dupont Circle, yummmmm oh and the coffee's good too (teehee). Waiting for my dear friend (ex-coworker) Jill Meola to have an early dinner. Afterwards, I'm off to Baltimore where I'll be staying with my old friend David Placher. Next stop, Atlanta, GA tomorrow @ 6a.m.

Have a great day everyone!

Leaving NYC

It's 6:15a.m. and I wake up with signs of what seems to be a light cough/flue sick. Irony, it's a love hate relationship. I've been “living” in NYC for the past 3 weeks and have been in excellent shape, but the day I leave NYC (and my doctor) is the day I decide to get sick. Uggh. Well I wake up at 6:15a.m. and leave the door by 6:45a.m. and get to my bus stop by 7:00 with my cup of tea from Starbucks. I wait in the frigid cold (p.s. sooooo happy I’m leaving the north, I’m just over the cold) for 30 minutes, when something told me to look at the mail to confirm the location of the bus stop. I’m in downtown Manhattan (6th ave and Watt) and the bus is leaving 33rd and 7th (midtown). I am feeling pretty stupid right about now, but rush to a taxi and get to the bus stop just in time to see IT LEAVE THE STOP!!!! Now I’m at Starbucks on 35th and 7th waiting for the next bus at 9:30a.m. Is this NYC’s way of saying, “Please don’t go, I’m just not ready to part ways…”

Stay tuned..
