today, i got to do what
i've been planning to do for weeks. tomorrow is
Stacy's 30th birthday and i wanted to do something
big for her. so, last night, when i dropped her off,
i said "you need to go inside and pack a bag for four
days. it's going to be cold. i'll pick you up at 7.00
am." she was like, "what?!?!?!"
so, this morning i picked her up at 7. we loaded up my car and got on the freeway. she had no idea where we were going. i made little comments like "you should get comfortable... it's going to be a long ride" and "i hope we can make it there today!" she was even more confused. she thought we were going on some ridiculously long road trip or something.
then, i pulled off the 405 at Century and she realized that we were going to the airport. we parked the car and hopped on a shuttle for LAX. then there was a little hickup in the plan.
when we got to the terminal, i realized that i had left my wallet in the car. we didn't have a lot of time, so i had to quickly find another shuttle, rush back, get my wallet and get back to the terminal. fortunately, i was able to do this in about 15 minutes. unfortunately, i had to have Stacy check us in when i wasn't there so i didn't get to be there when she found out that we were going to New York.
anyway, it was all pretty cool. we flew on the new Virgin America ($129 each way and direct from LAX to JFK!) and it was awesome! each seat has a touchscreen where you can watch live tv, listen to music, watch movies and even order your food that they bring to you when you want it.
when we got into New York, we realized that the airline had lost Stacy's bag. lame! (it worked out though. it was waiting for us at my sister's place when we woke up the next morning.) anyway, we went to Meri's place (it's actually our family's place... she just lives there) and got settled in. then we went walking looking for dinner and found this noodle place called Ollie's. i wouldn't recommend it.
by that time, it was getting late so we went back and watched some episodes of The Office and played with Meri's dog, Kona. all in all... a great day!
