Two hours until five.  We can do this.

Most of my thoughts this week are going towards mine and Jon's upcoming New York trip next week.  I don't often hear a lot of upbeat, positive things about the people of NY, but I can vouch for them when I say they have been super helpful.   I've been to NY a few times before, each trip is to a different area so I never get to apply what I've learned.  This trip we'll be staying in the city for a couple of days and then heading to The Hamptons for the 4th of July.

The challenging part of this trip has been coordinating transportation.  Reserving the flight was a piece of cake.  But as most know in NY you get into the confusion of trains, cabs, cars, drivers, subways, buses, ferries and last but not least...feet.  I think we are finally settled as far as getting from point A to B goes.  All the credit goes to the handful of New Yorkers on the other end of the phone correcting my reservations and giving helpful tips. I even appreciate some of their sassy remarks like, "Girl, if you're trying to get to LaGuardia why are you going to Manhattan?" I didn't even have to answer the question before she corrected my NY perplexity.
Mine and Jon's last trip, other than our former weekend visits between OKC & Tulsa was to Eureka Springs last July.  We are definitely overdue for a little traveling.

Since I like to post about deals, I will share my most recent.  I'm not one to get my nails done often, in fact it's safe to say that until recently I have gone years without stepping foot into a nail salon.  However over the past couple of months I've gone in 3 times to 3 different locations.  My all time favorite place so far has been Hawaii Spa and Nails off of May and NW 150th.  I just got my hands done.  Shellac & manicure for $30!  This includes a brief massage and a paraffin wax treatment.  They take reservations and are also open on Sundays, so if you're looking for a place to try give Hawaii Spa and Nails a whirl.  Ask for Lee.

Happy last week of June!
