Well, I booked my New York trip today. I’ll be in NYC September 17-24 this fall. I also put in my vacation request at work which better be approved because I’ve already reserved the flight and hotel. I’m pretty proud of myself, too. I’m using flight reward points to fly (although I have to fly into Long Island’s Islip Airport and take the train into Manhattan) and staying at a cute hostel in Chelsea (where I got a private room for a week at the rate you’d pay for a single night in some NYC hotels), so it’s not going to cost me a fortune. In fact, I’m estimating that I could do a “bare minimums” trip for less money that I have in my savings account right now.
Of course, I’m going to splurge on a few things while I’m there. In fact, I’ll probably try and see 3 or 4 shows while I’m there - depending on how many other things I want to do. During the weekdays, of course, I’ll be visiting law school campuses I’m hoping to get in to.
Generally, though, I’m just excited that I’m able to do things like this (take vacations I want to take) for the first time in my life. After last year’s epic 24 hours visit, I’ve been anxious to make another (longer) trip to the city and now I have the chance.
The best part is, Jennifer and Jacob are going to try and plan to be in New York that weekend, too, so I’ll get a chance to see them just before Jen’s birthday.
I’m especially having fun making a private google map with all my confirmation info, appointments, and destinations entered in.
