Last minute travel…
March 27th, 2007 by MrLuxuryFashionGuru… is the only way to go! 🙂
Everything has come together very nicely indeed, thank God. I leave tomorrow morning for Mexico City (via Houston, Texas) and I’ll be flying back late at night next Tuesday.
Today was spent hurrying through the many errands that inevitably arise before a trip. I got a new prescription for Cipro (I used up my stash on World Tour). I printed out my boarding passes. I got a haircut. I’m not sure how I’m going to write the two essays due immediately after I get back, but I’ll think of something.
My happy story for the day happened right after my haircut near the Prudential Center. As background, since last night I’d been looking around for an inexpensive travel guidebook to Mexico City. Naturally, all the copies in the Harvard library system had been checked out, presumably by other students on break. (Don’t even get me started on trying to find a Spanish phrase book in the system – that’s a story for Ryan!) So this evening, after managing to catch the stylist at his only open appointment for today (Kent squeezed me in while the guy before me was waiting for his highlights to set), I wandered over to the Barnes and Noble at the Prudential Center mall and browsed through the travel guide section. As expected, I was loathe to pay the $30 (including tax) for a shiny new Fodor’s or Frommer’s that I would only use for a week. But then lo and behold, when I reached up and pulled down a random copy of the guide book I really wanted–the latest Lonely Planet Mexico–I found it marked with a “50% Off” sticker! Turns out that one copy was discounted on account of being “damaged”, i.e., the spine was a little creased as you can see in the picture below (maybe it was dropped in the stock room). Looks good to me! And I’m sure it’ll look much more damaged when I get back in a week.
Perfect timing, I say 🙂

That rss feature on your website here is amazing, you should tell people about it in your upcoming post. I haven’t noticed it for the first couple of times, now I’m using it every morning to check on any updates. I’m on a real slow dial-up link in Australia and it’s rather frustrating to sit there and wait for such a long time ’til the page loads… but hey, I just found your rss page and added it to the Google Reader and there you are… I’m always up-to-date! Well buddy, keep up the good work and make that rss button a little bigger so that other people can enjoy that as well 😛

Some times its a pain in the ass to read what website owners wrote but this internet site is really user friendly!
