In and Out

To continue with the previous blog....

I left the Tequilaria and headed to my gate only to find out is has been moved across the airport.

I lugg my bags at least 1.5 miles to gate D12 only to then be told it has moved to D4. Let me tell ya D4 is NOT near D12 and D4 is not near a concession stand. I make it to D4 and the counter lady tells me that the fight is booked solid and that she cannot tell me if I will get a seat or not. It is about 330 now and so I remember that I have a disc of Gimore Girls in my laptop!!! Things are looking up. I watch 2 min and my laptops battery dies. The only plug in around is being used so I pull out my newly charged IPOD and start listening to some tunes.

About 5 min in, an announcement is made that the gate has changed again to D2. So I pack up again and move. The lady at the D4 counter is at the D2 counter and I wait for her to leave and then I make my way tp the counter to ask it they know anything. The guy tells me there are plenty of seats available, but the plane is old and there is a weight limit and they will have to wait and see if it is already too heavy for me to get on..... RIGHT.
The plane is late arriving by 20 mins, but right before the planes starts boarding...I get a ticket AND when I arrive in Nashville my luggage is there as well!!!!

So tommorrow I leave for HONDURAS!!!!!!
Be back July 9th.

Come away with me

Let me take you thoruogh my day so far.
So, my flight to Nashville was suppose to leave this morning at 6:30am. I got up at 3:30 to get to the airport an hour ahead of time. I got there at 4:30am. Well, the morning started out good with the car service being early and not late...that is the last thing that went right.
At the Airport the self check in computers were not working so it had to be done by hand.....then the earliest flight (5:50am) people were late arriving so the tickets people would only check them in and we had to wait 45 min to check in.....then when I got to the security check I had to cram my overstuffed purse into my already stuffed to the gills backpack (yes I know only two carryons but sometimes they do not care) Continental cares...only to 5 mins later have to unpack it to take my video camera out of the backpack to go through the scanner.
The plane leaves the terminal on time but we end up sitting on the runway for 2 hours b/c of some storm we never saw.
I get to Cleveland at 10:00, but SURPRISE my connection alreadyl left at 8:45am.
I am told to go to the customer service desk to get a new flight....I am on standby for the 4:30pm flight to Nashvagas, and if I don't get on that I have to spend the night here.
So, since I was starving and my stomach digesting my spine I made a beeline to Cinnabon, only to be told that it will be 20 mins for a bun. AGGGHHHHH
So, now I am sitting in Tequileria bar and grill. I have got some stuff done though. I checked my email and download some pics AND I am charging my IPOD that died 10 min into the 2 hours of runway sitting.
so, maybe I'll be home tonight in my own bed and maybe not.
Maybe I'll have my luggage when I get there and maybe not.
Peace out

More New York Photos

These are a few of the suger packets I used to get through the Italy vs USA game
This is a picture outside of the TODAY show studio , plus Cambell Brown, Matt and Ann. Me and Judy in the NBC store with freinds.



Here is the Ed Sullivan Theatre where the Late Show with David Letterman is filmed and The Hello Deli where Rupert works.

Here is a view from atop the Belvedere Castle "as seen in the movie Step Mom". The view is looking northeast.

A little bit of everything

Here is a pic from this past weekend with Judy and Brett. It is small so just use your memory to imagine our facial expressions. This is a pond on the east side of Central park around 70th street and 5th ave. It was HUMID and you can't tell but there are waterfalls pouring down our faces.
The hill in the background is a knoll that I prefer to study on, yet sometimes there are little green instects that like to fall on you, so I usually get frustrated and move to the hill to the right that you cannot see. On this particular day, on the hill you cannot see, the hill should have been called, "MY EYES....MY EYES!!!" b/c it was covered with persons who belong to the family of "Oh, you should NOT wear that bikini. Is that a spare tire?"

Brett, Judy and I walked all over Manhattan and I am now feeling the effects. I should say my Left foot is feeling the effects. My great toe is NOT happy with me.

Tonight I am going to the airport to pick up Mrs. Charlotte and Jaylin. They don't know it yet, but we are eating dinner at Serendipity and then Going to The empire State building!!! I printed out the tickets already so hopefully no 3hr wait this time.

REMEMBER: Tomorrow morning TODAY show!!!!!!

This Friday

Watch the TODAY show this Friday morning. Mrs. Charlotte, Jaylin and I will be there. We will be there rain or shine.

2.5 days of Clinical Left....FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another week, another weekend

Well,

one more week down here in the city....I am having mixed feeling about leaving.
Of course the whole experience started with a little drama, but after settling in it has been an amazing opportunity and experience.

I am ready to see my family and friends in TN whom I have not seen since March and Gracie as well, but I am definetly going to miss New York.

Why I love the city:
10. The people (everyone is there own person)
9. There is something always going on
8. The subway ( although there can be interesting smells there is something to say about
paying $2 to go 100 blocks)
7. The view from the empire state building (the view not the line you wait in)
6. The food (serendipity's frozen HOT chocolate)
5. Street vendors ( pictures, books, you name it it is there)
4. Book stores (they too are around every corner and the used ones are the best)
3. EVERyTHING is delivery (groceries can be delivered to your door)
2. Broadway shows
1. Central Park ( it is beautiful and full of life)

there are sooo many other things

Here is Jeremy and I at the Yankees game
Here is a view to the south from Central ParkHere is a view from the Empire state Building
Jeremy and I on the boat ride to Statue of Liberty. The statue of Liberty, me looking up at it and me standing in front of it. Jeremy had to layon his back upside down to take it b/c he was only 15ft from me.

A busy weekend

This weekend One of my friends from Belmont (jeremy) came up to the city with his cousin to "do new york"
They actually took a bus for Only $35 round trip from Washington DC.
On Sat we went to the Yankees game, wall street ( I sat on the bull) and ground zero. We ate at Pete's tavern and walked from Union Square to Times square.
On Sunday we went to central park, Lincoln square, columus Circle, The statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and Battery Park.
I even found the names John Palmer and Anna Palmer on the list of immigrants on the wall of names at Ellis Island
I took video and pictures of it all. I was filming all the Palmers on the Ellis Island wall and THEN my camera had a glich and I lost it all. All the footage of the weekend...GONE. I can see the pics of the camera but I cannot finalize the disk to download them. I am waiting on Jeremy to send some of his photos so I can post them.

Judy and Brett are coming this Friday. Should be a very interesting weekend.

OH yeah....Both Katie and Cindy are "withchild"!!!!!!!!

I think I heard somewhere that Judy was as well. I wonder where I heard that?

I took a practice PT state exam and did NOT do so well 59% baby. But that was without studying. Better get to it.
