Today I pulled my daily planner out of my purse and wrote New York City with big black teddy bear letters on the 31st, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. I also wrote in the name of the hotel that Fedora and I will be staying at, a hotel that costs way more than a three star hotel should cost, especially a hotel that consistently received reviews on TripAdvisor ranging from "craptastic" to "shittiest hotel ever" to "I would sooner die a million deaths before staying there again".
But, such are the joys of traveling during the holidays. Besides, I love New York City, I always have. I would stay in a cardboard box if it meant that I could weasel in a few extra days of hanging out with my friends in Greenwich Village, vintage shopping, dinner at Celeste (my favorite Italian restaurant in the whole world) a pedicure/manicure/procedure-I-can't-afford-at Bliss-Spa, and, my personal favorite, subways that run all 24 hours of the day.
Think you'll find the time to throw a blog post/TC update down while you're there? I mean, come on, have some pity on those of us who won't be traveling this holiday season.

Billy and I will be keeping things real here while you're off trekking about in this so-called "New York City," a place that cowboys and Pace picante sauce view with some measure of disdain, I feel I should point out.
You're fired.

Awesome! If you can open a window in that place, stick your head out and shout my name westward. I will probably hear you.

Yay! I'm happy for you. Have a good time and give little old me a ring when you are in the states. ^_^

So very jealous. I will be spending New Year's with shitty tv eating cold food and trying not to stab my mother-in-law.

Why will the food be cold?

Awesome trip, fuck yes! We should probably make our appointment to bliss for new years day!

Any plans on swinging down through the Lone Star state, or are you going to make me get on a plane just to say hi, and hang out.

Hrm. I'm getting an odd sense of deja vu, as a certain entry that shows up in my Google Reader is oddly missing here...
Hang in there. You can't be the Tokyo Cowgirl if you aren't in Tokyo. ::hugs::
