For some reason I decided to check the schedule for 54 Below this morning. That was a bad idea. I discovered a fairly amazing concert coming. A concert that unfortunately only had 1 ticket left. Honestly?! How could I have possibly passed that up. It was almost like it was meant to be. So I bought it. Then of course I needed transportation since no sane person wants to drive a car in Manhattan.
Well, as much as I hate MegaBus, and due to my usual bus service not running on Mondays I was forced to use them. Of course, when I looked up the dates, there were tickets available for $1 and $5. My entire round trip to NYC was $9.50. Holy moly! But then there was the problem of deciding to go up and come back all on a Monday - that would require leaving NYC around 10:00 pm - or get a hotel.
Who wants to arrive home after midnight, and then go to work the next day? Not me of course, so hotel it was. That was the one part that didn't work as smoothly, but in the end it did. I found a lovely cheap hotel, but luckily I noticed before I paid that the hotel had shared bathrooms. Heck no! Luckily, I found a slightly more expensive, nicer hotel in the perfect location with a bathroom all of my own a few minutes later. Also, I apparently have passed this hotel a million times, and it's around pretty much all I love in the city. Perfect!
So after all of that, I have a lovely overnight trip to Manhattan, completely alone and I've pretty much used my entire monthly allotment in an hour. But it's ok. I've decided my new theme for 2016 is You Only Live Once. : )
