Philly Philly...

May 25, 2010 (Sorry for the delay followers! This Blogger was not only up in the air but under the weather!)

So you'd think I would just get in the car and drive from CT to PA. No, that would be way too easy. Thanks Jenny Craig :) Finally all the airplane air has caught up with me and I am sick, and not only am I sick but I have TWO flights to Philly. I had to fly to Pittsburgh then back to Philly. So I am sitting in the airport bar in Pittsburgh and I think to myself what happened to schmoozing at the bar?  Meeting your soul mate ain't going to happen while sitting at an airport bar. SEVEN out of NINE people were either texting, talking or emailing on their cell phones, blackberries, PDAS, even laptops. One guy literally pulled out his headphones and tuned everyone out while listening to his IPOD. Really People? Have we not heard of socializing without surfing the net or usage of technology anymore? I mean I know I'm not one to talk. I have two cell phones in hand almost 75% of the time, but I still like to meet new people..and I mean face to face not on Facebook! So I landed in Philadelphia and drove downtown. I took some pictures quickly and then drove to my hotel in West Chester. So when I finally reached my destination I was not feeling so hot. The hotel had an issue with my direct bill soafter 30 minutes of phone calls I was finally ready to go up to my room. One problem; the elevator was Out of Order and I was in room 421 on the 4th floor. Let's just say I don't pack light and I had to drag my 47 lb suitcase up the stairwell. The bed never looked so good this night....Oh and for the record, my bed at the Hampton Inn Suites was the most comfortable bed I have ever laid in EVER!
