A few months ago my friend Gary was visiting us when he casually asked, “Would you like to go to my son’s wedding? It’s in New York.” My reply……. “Hell yes!”. What excuse do I need to go to the Big Apple ………….None! Moments later (much to Gary’s surprise) I already made reservations at our favorite New York hotel, the Marriott Marquis at Times Square. I just love playing with their elevator buttons (more about that in a later post).
Today is our day of departure and I am incredibly excited. No, it isn’t the fact that we got upgraded and are enjoying a wonderful breakfast at the American Airlines lounge. No it isn’t the thought that soon we will be pampered at the Marriott Marquis. No it isn’t that we will be enjoying Broadway and going to a couple of shows. No it isn’t the thought of eating a corned beef on rye sandwich that is sooooooo much better in NYC than anything you can find in Los Angeles (I wouldn’t dare mention Hermosa Beach in the same sentence as a corned beef sandwich). No it isn’t that we will be seeing Gary’s son enter into holy matrimony (more about that later too).
So what is the cause of all my excitement?
I am about to place a 149 point word down in my Words With Friends game with my friend Joe. Life just doesn’t get any better.

You know Robert, I would really prefer you travel a bit more frequently. Your travel tales are so amusing—they truly make my day! AND…since the farthest Art prefers to travel is via the 105/110 to Staples to see the Kings play, I must experience exotic (or not-so!) locales via your lively dialogue. So, keep it up I say!!!

Our pleasure. Any specific trips you would like to have us take? One of my goals is to see a baseball game in all 30 MLB parks. Maybe you could interest Art into seeing the Kings play in every NHL arena. That would get him off the 105 freeway.
