Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget?

[JenniferS]

Beddy-byes time. See you at 3:00. AM.
I am icing my knee for a bit, because tomorrow we try a little bit of weight bearing. The crutches are killing my arms.

The boys shared this.


Mine. Just a few bites.


Still mine. Another few bites.


Ski’s Grand Slamwich.


Son #1 (who will hereinafter be called by his real name Spenser - since most of you know me in real life or Facebook anyway) ordered a burger.


Mike’s chicken fried steak.


Everybody is full and happy and going to bed. New York City, here we come.

 

[JenniferS]

We’re up. Spenser gave up at 1:20 and moved over to sit at the desk, giving me the whole double bed to myself.

Ski is the most restless, noisy (in a non-snoring way) sleeper I’ve ever shared a room with.

I don’t think I slept, but maybe I dozed at some point, who knows.

Out the door in 15, because our shuttle leaves at 3:30! They offered $7/night parking at the hotel here, and I said, “yes, please”.

These’s a Duane Reade on every corner.

Ha! Funny thing is, on a previous trip (some years ago) to the city, I kept seeing Duane Reade all over the place. Didn't have a clue what kind of store it was. Then, one day I asked guest services at the hotel where I could buy some aspirin, and the man told me about the multiple Duane Reade stores close by. I had walked by boodles of them while I had a headache, and couldn't find a CVS! (Didn't realize that Duane Reade was top dog in that area, let alone, that it was a pharmacy!)

Have an awesome trip, @JenniferS!

 

[JenniferS]

Heading into the City.

I can’t say enough about how awesome Delta was. Upgraded us to extra leg room, plane to curb side wheelchair service, and they even let me use the washroom after we’d landed.

Fingers crossed that Marriott has one of our rooms ready - doesn’t matter which one.

Have a fantastic time with your boys!

Welcome to NY (Buffalo doesn’t count).

I had a disturbing e-mail from Disney last night and it's still annoying me.
A few weeks ago when I found out that my DD would be in WDW the same weekend we were going with my sister, I had checked out the price of one-day tickets on the website. I never bought them - never even explored it any further than checking the price, and never signed into my account. So yesterday I got an e-mail about my search and did I buy tickets elsewhere, cancel my plans, etc, and what was my primary reason for not purchasing them. At the end of the survey thay said that they were looking to talk by video to some respondants, and would I be willing to do that (they mentioned 3 possible dates), and they would pay each participant $100. There was also an option of talking to them without videotaping. I refused it because it just sounded too creepy to me - Big Brother and all that.

 

[Goofyernmost]

Not sure. I haven’t tried to put any weight on it yet.

I was hoping we’d be in bed by 10:30, but at 10:17 we’ve only just ordered “dinner”.

The boys ordered cake batter shakes. Surprisingly I did not. I’m sticking with water.

Any guesses where we are?

Yeah, I guess there’s a big hint in the second pic there. To be honest though, y’all should have been able to guess without a single pic.

Why should we know? All the rest of us are way too classy to be in a Denny's. Isn't that the place that druggies go to satisfy the munchies after 10 o'clock. Personally I prefer some fine establishment that features nouvelle cuisine with large plates and tiny portions.

Spoiler

Then when I leave there I still can stop at McDonalds, Wendy's or Five Guys to finish the meal.

Might as well take the money... big brother is there whether we like it or not. Just do a search for some other thing while on the internet and no later then the next day, ads for whatever you searched or even mentioned a "key" word in a search, will show up here on WDWmagic if you haven't done the Premium Member thing. Just part of our life now... might as well take advantage of whatever perks show up because of it. When I mentioned that I will have to move and was deciding what to do about an apartment, the next day all I saw were ads for apartments in the Raleigh area. Creepy, a little I guess, but, just part of the current world we live in.

 

[Nemo14]

Ads are one thing, but an email to me is quite another. I didn't give that to them in my search, yet they had access to it.

 

[JenniferS]

Yay, there was a room ready for us. Just one, but that’s all I need.

Corner room - 52nd floor.



There is a wee glimpse of Times Square.


And yup, there’s my free wheelchair.

No pics of the room because all four of us are here right now, and they might have made a mess.

I’m not sure what the Denny’s clientele is - there are very few of them in Canada.

I like fine food as much as the next guy, but I like Denny’s and 5 Guys and Earl of Sandwich too. Good food is good food.

You sure as [expletive] better not tidy when they leave.

Does the hotel have those vertigo inducing mini-windows near the floor again?

Yes, and Ski left it wide (relatively speaking) open. Took me an hour to figure out why I thought the building was swaying.

 

[JenniferS]

Despite arriving at the airport at 3:40 for a 5:40 departure, we nearly missed our flight.

Discuss.

Looking for some feedback from anyone who has experienced what I'm about to describe:
Every winter some of my fingers crack where the side of the nail meets the skin. I have to wash my hands throughout the day to be healthy but the constant water exposure in the winter causes what I already described. Putting Neutrogena actually seems to make it worse. Anyone else experience this? Any solution(s)?

Lotion with cocoa butter or vitamin E. I use Palmers cocoa butter formula with vitamin E...make sure you rub it into your cuticles really well. It's kind of greasy...you can put some on and then put on a very little bit of some regular lotion...I use Vaseline Intensive Care Aloe lotion, to cut down on the greasy feel.

 

[JenniferS]

If Mike bought it in Buffalo, but I ate it in NYC, does it count as my first NY meal?

 

[Songbird76]

It might sound extreme, but at times I've coated my hands with lotion (non-perfume ones) and slept with a pair of cotton socks on my hands to help.

I've done that with petroleum jelly rather than lotion, on my feet because my feet were so dry.

Well that post is really appreciated, but for now I'm gonna avoid spending money on those products and just discontinue the alcohol based hand sanitizers. If that approach doesn't work then I can follow your suggestion.
....but.......a sincere thank you!
