Good Morning Dinks and Happy Friday. It’s the end of March and April showers will soon bring May flowers. Next weekend my 40 days of No Chocolate is officially over and I have decided to celebrate with a mini trip to New York City. You may remember that I absolutely love New York so I have planned a little vacation next weekend.
If I don’t go to New York next weekend I won’t have another chance for the rest of the year and that is way too long for me to be away from New York City. At the end of April I am having eye surgery and therefore I won’t be able to travel. I have a week of vacation in June, but I plan to stay home and work on my book because I hate travelling during the summer aka tourist season. I don’t have any vacation during the summer and in September I am attending the Financial Blogger Conference in Denver. After that my birthday is in October and then on November 1st the bank’s fiscal year restarts and so does the busy time of the year. So basically if I don’t go on vacation now, I won’t have another chance in 2012.
I have also been toying with the idea of getting a tattoo. I would love to get a tattoo from Ami James the star of TLC’s hit shows Miami Ink and NY Ink. This is (maybe) on my list of things to do during my weekend trip to New York City. I would like to travel to other US cities but I always seem to book a trip to New York City every chance that I get. I would someday like to visit Chicago, Boston, and Philadelphia.
