Well I’m here! It was a long but thankfully uneventful day. Didn’t oversleep which is always my biggest worry, car started and got to the airport in plenty of time. Lines to check bags, through security and especially at Starbucks were non existent! Maybe this is a sign of a wonderful week to come.
Flights were on time, nothing cancelled, delayed or late. As I waited in Chicago for my 2nd flight I ran into a Philly bound ANG seminar person that I know as we have been seeing each other here for years. We shared the rest of our travel day together just chatting up a storm about life and stitching.
Arrived at the hotel too late to pick up seminar registration, so just checked into the hotel, my room and then headed back downstairs to scope out the restaurants and look for the Starbucks.
Had my 1rst Philly Steak Sandwich, a glass or two of a local brew and took it all in! Need to make sure that I practice ordering this correctly. I hear that at some of these famous Philly Steak Sandwich joints they can make fun of you if the mood strikes them if you don’t say it right. Of course that is not happening at the hotel where I ordered it with whiz. Absolutely delicious!
This morning it will be check in for seminar and then off on an all day tour through the Pennsylvania Dutch and the Amish Country. Lunch will be family style at a well known spot where all the local foods such as shoo-fly-pie will be served. Hope to scope out the local sights within walking distance when I get back! No time to waste as there is way too much to do and see.
and until next time…keep on stitching
Started with the right foot, I see. That cheesesteak looks yummie. You’ll love Amish country, my daughhter and I go there all the time. Very peaceful and amazing food. Willow Tree is good and Miller’s is our frequent spot. Let us know how it went
It was a great day yesterday…would love to have spent more time there!
Sounds like you’re off to a good start with the Philly cheesesteak! See if you can round up a good Hoagie (what we call a sub on the West coast) – no mayo, lots of “grease”, and absolutely fantastic if you can find a good one. Also, you might find some barley sugar candy on your tour of the Amish country – I haven’t found this anywhere else except Pa. Sounds like you and Bastet are gonna’ have a great time.
Yes Peggi! Monday starts class and I can’t wait!
Have an amazing time! I can’t wait to hear more! I have been reading this blog (Welcome to Just Cats In-home Cat Care at justcats-deb.blogspot.ca) and couldn’t help but think of you. If you get a chance, check it out. Wanda
