I want to be a part of it

We finally booked our hotel for our December weekend in NYC. Waiting so long kind of limited our options as most things affordable in the city were booked and everything else was looking like $500 plus per night. As such, we'll be staying outside the city in lovely Secaucus, NJ at a hotel Brian's been at before for 501st events http://www.expedia.com/pub/agent.dll/qscr=dspv/htid=845/nojs=1/eapi=23708 . There is free parking there and easy buses into the city right there, so one can't really complain. Its also not quite the ghetto kind of place that Brian and I stayed at the last time in Jersey City (the Holland Motor Inn, complete with hourly rates, reliance on the PATH and bulletproof glass in the front office).

We have tickets to see Spamalot and the Rockettes and I really want to finally check out the Cloisters and see this exhibit at the MET: http://www.metmuseum.org/special/se_event.asp?OccurrenceId=%7BB927CD20-71AD-4986-B346-66AE99B96BA4%7D . Of course, its also just a nice time of the year to be there with all of the lights and fancy window displays and such. I'm looking forward to introducing Brian to it all.

Whee! Now to e-mail the petsitter . . .
