Woke up after a great night's sleep, cup of coffee, shower, chat with Everybody. Out the door to see a movie but, first a nice lunch. Decided to stop into the restaurant right next door, and was the first person there for the day. (How awesome is it that, there’s a great restaurant literally right next door?!) Having lived in the ‘burbs most of my life, it’s a real treat! Bistro Vendome (E 58th between 1st and Sutton Place) is charming. The Bistro was offering a 2 course prix fix for $20, or 3 course for $25. I decided to go all out with the 3 course. Had a wonderful vegetable soup, salmon with a side of what seemed to be eggplant in a marinara type sauce, with a lovely glass of pinot noir, cappuccino and crème broulet for dessert.

Then off to see “The King’s Speech” with Colin Firth, a few short blocks away. Excellent movie. (Everybody had been telling me that, but somehow I wasn’t in that big a hurry to see it. Very glad I did!)

I somehow misjudged my timing for the day, so after the movie I rushed back to the apartment, nobody there, so texted Roomie to say goodbye, grabbed my things, and rushed back out to grab a cab to Grand Central. Jump on a bus out to JFK, stressing about the Holiday traffic and of course the JetBlue terminal is the last one the bus stops at. Rush to a reservation desk with no paperwork as I had no access to a printer, easily got my boarding pass, and the nice Lady assured me I had plenty of time. Thankfully my flight was delayed a bit, so I did have plenty of time.
Just got off my first “free" flight on JetBlue! Waiting for my Husband to get off work, I jumped into Boston Brewery for a glass of wine and a burger, sometimes there’s nothing better. And, Ray Bourque was there! I was really feeling like the jet-setter I knew I was meant to be!!!
