Looking forward to...

I made reservations at lunch but not for lunch. First, I got my ticket to ride an aeroplane all the way to Salt Lake City by way of Dallas. I'll be headed there for Spring Quilt Market, a whirlwind trip. I'm also going to the AQS show in Paducah at the end of April: good quilting fun + road trip.

And I thought you could name the direct flights from Little Rock on one hand (not quite, but almost: Dallas, Memphis, Houston, Chicago and...uh, Atlanta, and...).

And add to the list NEWARK, NJ. I know! Who would have thought it? And why would you want to fly in to Newark? A. Did I mention it's a direct flight? That works really well with my crazy anxious weirdness over airports and making connections. But more importantly, B. it's all about some New. York. Ci-tay. I've been flirting with the idea of going for months. And now, I'm going. In June.

This is a picture of the hotel. In Times Square. And the best part is that it's only going to cost me a million dollars. For two million dollars' worth of fun!
