Off to the City

-
In keeping with our now one year old tradition of taking to the road for Thanksgiving, we set off from Rochester last night for NYC.  Or, at least we tried to ... the blustery, gustery winds delayed our flight several times and left us wondering if we would even get out.  Our spirits were raised by the sight of a new Benefit vending machine at the ROC airport, which we took as a very, very good sign!


We had plenty o'snacks to tide us over.  And, Ned had plenty o'calls to make.  So, the delays weren't a problem.



Soon, we were in flight, filling the full back row of the little United prop jet to Newark--bouncing our way toward the city.  (Note the cool iPad shot--something one can only capture when in the full, bus-style back row!)



Given we got in late on a Monday night, our trip from Newark to our hotel in Manhattan was fairly quick.  As always, we Hotwired our stay, winding up at the super cool Hyatt Andaz Wall Street for a "no one's in the financial district over Thanksgiving week" rate.  We felt quite welcomed!


Our room was huge, complete with window seats and bathroom that included--according to Penn--the world's best shower.






We even had a glimpse of the lighted trees below.


Sadly room service lost our dinner order, and we went to bed hungry and a bit disappointed.  But, we had sweet dreams that the Andaz would make it right.  Did they?  Stay tuned!

From Castle to Temple in Just One Day

Our hotel has a theme of music that runs from the lobby through the elevators and into the rooms. Lyrics line the walls in tasteful handwriting. It gives the place a very welcoming, creative vibe. On our second morning in Dublin, we set off around brunch time for the other breakfast place recommended by our hotel, Lemon Jelly . We beat the line by a few minutes and filled up on yummy omelets, Irish breakfasts, and Americanos. It was history day in every possible way: on the schedule were the Dublin Castle, Book of Kells, Jameson Distillery, and a ghost bus. Plus some food in between. Our walk to the castle on this grey day took us past murals and lovely architectural elements. Dublin is a compact city, easy to walk with something to grab your eye around every corner. It's Ireland's largest, but even so, it has only about a half a million residents, a bit more than two-thirds the size of DC. There is great concern about the cost of living in Dublin, but according to internationa

There Will Be Glaciers

After our port visits for the past few days, we were on to Glacier Bay.  According to our Freestyle Daily, we'd be arriving at the bay around 7:15 am, so I was up and out on deck early in anticipation.  There weren't many of us, and there wasn't much to see.  The skies were grey and the clouds were low--making for some dramatically moody photos but no glaciers were in sight. While the ship is in Glacier Bay, US Park Rangers are on board to answer questions, share information, and offer commentary about the glacier and the environment that produced it.  They tendered onto the ship early in the morning and set up shop in one of the lounges.  The map below shows the route we took into and out of the bay. As the morning moved along, the decks began to fill with eager glacier hunters, and I ran back to the rooms to wake everyone up.  (One thing we realized on this trip was that we really need to bring walkie talkies on our next cruise.  Now that we're all fu

Virtual Who

Sunday morning, and Harper (aka Lumpy Space Nesmith ) and Penn (aka the 11th Doctor) made their way to the Convention Center for the last time. Penn was in his element and got asked to join a few photos in this ensemble :) He even charmed Stormtroopers. We had basically bypassed the North Building each day, using it just for panels or to cross over to the South.  So, on our last day, we spent a bit of time there.  First, reconnecting with the always amazing and generous Doctor Who Society of Canada.  They are great people who always bring it for FE!  As this collection of homemade Daleks shows. This year, they were collecting funds for the Sick Kids Foundation, a Canadian charity.  Donors could take unlimited photos with the Daleks and record their Dalek voice.  Penn couldn't resist: We then split because Harper realized that an enormous Intel installation devoted to competitive gaming and other tech filled up much of the North Buildi
