Being that this is the first time that I’ve sat at a REAL computer in over a week… I’m like a kid that tasted candy for the first time!!
Here’s my current story…
When I arrived at the airport at 4:00 p.m. (extremely early) to find that my flight had been delayed and I would now leave NYC at 7:25 p.m. instead of 6:55 p.m… My anger level started to rise even higher than it already was since I had just had a terrible experience on 5th Avenue at the Louis Vuitton store and then at Saks (which was actually the reason I came to the airport early)!
Then the nice lady that checked me in for my flight said, “It will be fine, Miss, there is a Power Stop and a restaurant/bar in the terminal area and we also have very comfy seating. You won’t have any problem passing the time.”
My thought of course was “What? Yea Right.” Well, to my surprise… she was RIGHT! I’m sitting in the Power Stop by Amex typing away on a very large white Mac desktop!!! YAY!!!
I’ve been trying to catch up on my Reader and make at least a few comments… I had 600+ posts to read and I still have 300+ to go. I’ve missed all of you very much!!! Please know that just because I have not been commenting, it does NOT mean I’m not reading your posts… and loving them! Thank you to all that have passed awards and/or tags to me. I promise I will try and get caught up on those as well. I truly appreciate them more than you know! I have SO much more to catch you up on and hope to do so tomorrow morning over coffee!!
It’s currently 6:30 p.m. and the voice from the intercom says we are still on schedule to leave at 7:25 p.m. Please say a little prayer for me that it doesn’t get delayed even more. Because as much as I’m completely IN-love with this Power Stop, I’m ready to be back in the Midwest. I won’t be going to home until later in the weekend but Chicago is home enough for now! Okay, I must eat something now before it’s time to take-off. I get motion sickness very easily so eating is a must!! I might be back before I leave NYC for good but if not, much love to all of you and I hope you are staying warm on this VERY cold night!! xoxo, Nina

So good to have this post from you. Can’t wait to hear about your experiences in NYC. . . Louis Vuitton and Saks?? You know considering the state of things for retailers you would think that they would not want anyone to have a “bad” experience with them!! Hope you’ll post when you get to Chicago!! Take care!! xoxo
Safe travels!!!
and
What on earth happened at LV and Saks? were they snotty and rude?
Good luck!! Have a safe trip back.
Hope you make it home safe!!
What did you get a Louis? Inquiring minds want to know!
PLD
So, glad to hear from you again. Poor thing, I’m sure you’re worn out and ready to get to your own comfy home. Ready to hear about your travels and of course wanting to hear about Louis and Saks….if they were rude, I might go kick some fanny on your behalf. Cannot stand rudeness, hoping this is not the case. See ya
Delays are no fun! I’m so sorry for you. Hope you make it home safely sans any further delays! Can’t wait to read more about your trip to NYC!!
Can’t wait to hear the LV and Saks story….I need a good laugh. Hope you’re safe and sound.
Miss you. Come home soon.
Flying out of LaGuardia back to Chicago is the absolute worst. I’ve been going to Chi 2X a year for work for the past 2 years and I am ALWAYS delayed on at least one leg of the trip. I know how you are feeling! But the PowerStop is a lifesaver. Hope you’ve made it back by now
oh me too, me too! I get the woret motion sickness. must run in our family
