Today, we checked out the hotel by 10 AM, strolled with our carry-ons to our favorite just-around-the-corner place, Columbus Cafe, for breakfast. We then took the B train uptown to 125th St and the M60 to La Guardia and got to an earlier flight (1:30 PM EST) to Houston. I knew I'm almost home when while on the way to my (coach) seat I heard this exchange between a stewardess and a first-class passenger.
"What would you like to drink, Sir?"
"Do you have Dr. Pepper?"
"We don't (with a patronizing tone)."
"Urgh.."
A shuttle took us to where we left the car last Tuesday and then we went directly to Chinatown for dinner and some groceries. We safely reached home by 9 PM.
Ah, I miss the city already. Good thing is, Law & Order is on as I'm typing this.
More stories later. I need to revive from all the walking and the eating and the excitement.
¡Próspero Año Nuevo!
