Hello, dear friends, I'm finally confessing what you already know. I travel the way most of my graduating class had sex: frequently and without any thought or hesitation. I'm back from a good time in New York City with hopefully an opportunity to go back soon. It's fun to be somewhere where you know you don't fit in, right? Or maybe not FUN, per se, but since it's an adventure to go where no rural hick girl like me has gone before, it's the adventure that I embrace.
Next time, I pack a phone charger even if I think my battery will last (it won't) and I won't pack any extra crap so I can haul more Playbills home.
One thing I enjoyed was the fact that I actually experienced the city away from behind my camera lens. I need to do that more often because I think it's good for me. That, and, I may not travel out of Flint anymore. The last two times have been hell for me. Then again, my car is safe (except for bird droppings, remind me why I parked next to a tree for four days?) but whatever. It was also nice to be around public transportation again, too. I keep forgetting why this is spectacular until I'm without a car and realize I do just fine. I mean, this will never swing here in the sticks, but if I need a pro for a list to get out of dodge, it would definitely be near the top of the column.
Most of you have my facebook account, so check out the pics. The rest of you can use your imagination.
Next stop, DC. My gosh, I deserve the Vicious Trollop Award tonight, don't I?
