New York….you go to bed at midnight?!

Whew! What a day! After eating 16 pounds of raw oysters (but after a quick calculation it is only 16 grams of protein!!!) we slept like angels until 6:00 when we were rudely awoken by our early morning wake up call! Off to the air[Orr and security. Only 2 things in life make me seriously nervous….pap smears and airport security. A few serious questions…..where are you going….why are you going there….how much money are you going to spend…..are you telling your husband…..

Made it through security and straight to Wolfgang’s for an early morning Caesar. Delicious and made getting up early totally worth it. Sat through the airplane emergency procedures and then had to listen to the 5 year old beside us for FOUR FUCKING HOURS! Honestly, that kid did not stop talking. At one point I dozed off and she screamed, I then woke up and screamed, “Fuck!” She scared the hell out of me and it was a reactionary yell on my part. I was proud of myself for not hitting her. Made it to JFK and had to go outside and wait for our car. Honestly, it was 87 degrees outside. The hottest 87 degrees I’ve sat through without a margarita in my hand! Smoking hot. Then the WORST TRAFFIC EVER! Holy, we drove 35 kilometres and it took us an hour and a half, with a driver that spoke 18 words of English and 4 of those words were, “I don’t speak English”. 

Anyway, we had the best supper (thank you Margaret M. For the recommendation!) and had our tarot cards read! Save that story for another day. Went to Times Square and it was pretty quiet….. 

Off to bed, big day tomorrow…..
