As I really started getting down into the nitty-gritty of planning this NYC trip, I started having some anxiety around money, which I think is understandable given that my employment after the end of this calendar year is not certain.

So rather than giving in to the anxiety altogether, I started loosening my criteria for this trip to find cheaper airfare and hotel combinations. Right now, I'm looking at flying JetBlue on December 19 (a red eye arriving December 20) and staying at the W Hotel Times Square until December 25. I really love flying on Christmas Day because it's the only day of the year when there is actually elbow room on the planes. That's right, goyim, give me that one day where I don't have to deal with all of you in travel hell! Ha!

I think five nights is plenty. Now I just need to find someone who will actually still be in Tucson to take care of Leif while I'm gone...
