Well, I’m here! Although I felt a bit like Alice-down-the-rabbit-hole at first, I am starting to feel right here at my hotel only a couple of blocks from Madison Square Garden and Macy’s.
Stumbled off my leavin’-on-a-JetBlue-plane red-eye at about 8:00 a.m. And it only took me three hours to arrive at my hotel in Manhattan. (Okay, so I got on the Airlink tram for no reason, my shuttle was right in the same terminal. In my own defense, I was a wee bit tired.)
Checked in, opened my bag to unpack, and discovered that yes-indeed my shampoo and condtioner bottles had exploded. Fortunately, it was a small mess and only my workout clothes were effected. Whew!
I thought my response to all of this was very urbane. I decided it was time for a nap.
Nap taken, I had a lovely meeting with my agent for Writer Mama, Rita Rosenkranz at her home on the Upper West Side. (More about how great she is later.) Then grabbed a bite and walked back to my hotel through Times Square, which would not have been complete without the three-some of “I (Heart) New York” t-shirts for my family to wear all matchy-matchy.
It’s about eight o’clock, and since I am in The City That Never Sleeps, I think I’d better get some shut-eye.
Big conference tomorrow! Can’t wait to see everyone.
Good luck, I have to say I wish I was in your shoes-One day!
Have a great time
Yay! Aren’t you just a woman of the world? Congrats on finding your way around NYC solo — a feat in itself! Good luck & have a great time at the conference.
