Last night Megan, Tony, and Mel did a great job of packing. I still have lots to do though, but am confident I'll get it done. We ate Chinese food around the cocktail table and had a super time. They all three made me laugh.
This morning I got up at 4:30 for my flight to NYC. Dave and Suzanne picked me up at LaGuardia, and we took off for the two hour drive to Mohonk. At New Palz we stopped for lunch at a restaurant/bar that had 400 different beers. I had one from Belgium--I've forgotten the name already, but it was similar to the Belgian white beer that I'm fond of.
We checked into the hotel on the mountain. Suzanne and I discovered that there's only one bed in our room. That's because originally her husband was coming with her. When he cancelled, then she and I decided to share again, like we did last year. Luckily the bed is king-sized, so we'll do fine.
At 4 PM is tea time, so we'll see more of our friends then. And dinner is at 6:30. Men must wear a jacket for dinner, and no one may wear athletic shoes. Etiquette from bygone days. :)
It's so beautiful here, it takes my breath away. Even though I can't really afford to be here (financially and time-wise), it's good that I came. It's Gloria's 25th (and last) year leading the Wonderful World of Words and I really wanted to be here to support her. And to have fun.

YOU ARE IN NEW YORK??????? Mom?????
Ask Dave if he is going to wear his baggy jeans! ;-)
i hope you get the chance to see Adam....I am not as worried about him as I was when you first thought you'd see him, but would love for someone (family) to be able to give him a hug, since I know how much he LOVES that! Let me know how he is if you see him.
Beata, Dave said to tell you that his jeans are tighter, but only because he gained weight. :)
Cin, I'll give Adam a call and will let you know.
That restaurant in New Paltz is nice. Some crazy kids have tried to drink all 400 kinds.
