Boarding my flight! I do not have nine pairs of shoes (I think. Don’t hold me to that). But Steph did save me from a critical boot shortage.
No. And yes. It's always sudden.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

If you can’t tell, I have fully converted to checked bags for direct, non-business travel.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
My flight gets in tomorrow early afternoon, so count me in for dinner and/or rooftop bar shenanigans. (Although I will probably nap as soon as I get to the hotel, because I have to drag myself out of bed at the stupid-early [for me] hour of 6 a.m.)

Picture my cape flapping in the wind as I look down from my perch for other imminent travelers who need packing guidance.
My big question is: do I want to wear the same dress all day Saturday? And I feel like the answer is yes (it's a pretty dress and it's stupid comfortable without being a t-shirt dress that might also be a nightshirt). I dunno. I guess I'll try on Potential Memorial Dress one more time to see if I really want to pack it.

The biggest question is: I have a pedicure today, and I can't decide what color. I think burgundy. Or silver. Maybe teal.

I’m thinking mani-pedi sometime tomorrow if I don’t land on something else to do.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Oh no, I only brought two pairs of shoes, did I do it wrong?
My flight tomorrow gets in at 7:30 - will anyone be around for a late dinner close to the Majestic? (I'm estimating I'll get to the hotel around...9?)

So I was right at the security gate, and this guy behind me says their flight is boarding, and asks me if they could cut ahead. I shook my head no, I guess because IATA. But! they guy in front of me lets them go. And it turns out that they are a large family, with two kids in strollers, and TEN trays of carry-ons, of course loaded with stuff that you’re not supposed to carry on. I was right there at the gate, and it took almost 30 minutes to get through.
Fortunately, my flight is delayed, so I didn’t stress out too hard.

Tom, I would have lost my entire mind. I admire your cool.

Oh wow, Tom.
I started an email for the dinner tonight - if anyone other than Brenda and Laura wants to join, let me know and I'll add you.
Shoes: brought two for the entire trip (ankle boots and sport shoes) and bought a pair of nice shoes in NYC.
