Feeling Loved

Wow.  Today has redefined what feeling loved is all about.  From the minute I woke up I've been inundated with constant phone calls and email from people wishing me a great trip and asking how to keep in touch.  I went into work today and was invited to drinks with a some coworkers only half an hour after returning from lunch with a few others.  After work, I invited my entire contact list of New Yorkers to a random bar in a random part of town, and a whole bunch of you showed up.  Thanks!  and yay for last minute goodbyes!


The kicker, however, came when I got to the airport an hour ago, and was told I get to fly first class the entire way to Buenos Aires.  Suddenly the 18-hour flight ahead of me isn't looking so bad.  I get free alcohol, a nice pillow, a blanket... maybe I'll even get a foot massage or something.  On top of that, I get to sit in the executive lounge until my flight starts boarding.  There's fresh fruit and tea displayed gloriously on a table of "freebies".  Talk about the grand treatment.  This is how to travel!!

Ok, ive read your blog entries totally backwards (to explain why im commenting on them here). What a fantastic recount of these past three weeks...all of the tales seem so fresh in my memory. I am so sad to be leaving Buenos Aires/yall. I wish there were a way to freeze everything else and stay here forever. But no-go. So sad. OK, lets pick things up and say "CHAU"! ~Leslie P.
