Technology has made certain things much easier. I message my brother in Australia almost every day and talk to his kids on a regular basis. We use WhatsApp, it's free and easy to use and you can even make video or phone calls.That is very nice of you to take the time to share such helpful thoughts. My sister in law lives in the island(Batam) just a 50 minute Ferry boat ride from Singapore. It has its resortee kind of sections and I see my sister in law's husband and their entire family wearing shorts all the time. Facebook IS such a cool thing. I can "see" them and we can "chat" on the messenging system. All free of charge even though they are on the complete other side of the earth. We are a spoiled generation

That's a nice amount of money, do you know what you are going to spend it on?

I let my 14 year old nephew choose where we were going for lunch today, he chose McDonald's. 
He's not exactly adventurous however they do have a few different things on the menu here at McDonald's like chicken and rice or fried egg.
They also had this.
Of course I had to try Cream Cheese Coffee, how could I not?
The cream cheese was a bit salty and the ice coffee very sweet but it wasn't a terrible combination. Mean aunty that I am I made my nephew try some as well, he agreed it wasn't as terrible as he thought it would be.

I'm up. A little too early, because I knew I had to get up at 6am (which I often do without help - but when I know I have to, I get stupid.)
Been up since 4:30, which means only 4.5 hours of sleep.
8:56AM flight to NJ for mom's 70th, and home the next day.
It's a solo trip, no ADR's or FP's.
But seriously, didn't rent a car or book a room (for a little over a day, you get charged for two days, and it would have been nearly $200.) I figured I'd take my chances with Uber. As it happens, Aunt Patti will pick me up at the airport around noon and we'll go to lunch.
Then I'm kind of stranded (I think.) Dinner will be around 6 or 6:30. I'm thinking about getting the haircut I meant to get yesterday.
Was going to stop at my stepmom's before mom's (bizarrely, they live like 3 blocks apart.) But she is driving down to Long Beach Island after a half day at work. Mom will be at work, and I don't have a key to her house (plus it's supposed to be a surprise that I'm coming.)
Hmm...I'm starting to think getting a room might be a good idea after all. Was going to just wing it and sleep at mom's (packed extra Xanax for that.) Oh, Priceline...

I think I'm going to use it as part of our tip money for ADRs. Until it runs out anyway. Which I'm sure will be pretty quickly.

You'll be fine! It's just a short little trip. Sometimes it's good to let others help you out and plan (or not plan a heavily-laden schedule) for the day. You might actually enjoy a lower energy visit. Relaxing and detaching from the norm can be welcome, sometimes!

Yep. I just booked what seems to be a fairly nice room just to take the stress and uncertainty out of the equation. That way I have someplace to go after lunch, and to sleep well.
Gotta get out the door in 20 minutes...

Happy bday to your mom! It is really nice that you are going up for that. That is a whirlwind trip though. Being stranded with nowhere to go does suck. I would definitely try and find a hotel. By the way, I have been up since 3:45 although I think I fell asleep before 9. Nope, not a night owl.I'm up.
