I like that people now have the possibility to make their own travel plans.
I hate having to make my own travel plans.
There are so many options these days…you have to visit so many different sites to make sure that you’ve found the best deal…it’s stressful.
I love it when it works out well. I made my travel plans for the Edgar Awards banquet yesterday and managed to book flights for just $250 each into LGA. When I find something that low, I pretty much stop looking. I almost always go to the airline’s website for the final booking, since they sometimes are a few dollars cheaper. I was pleased. I don’t have to second guess. Even if the airfares drop…how low can they possibly go? The flight is cheaper than the hotel!
My experience with becker&mayer! working on The Stephen King Illustrated Companion has been amazing from day one. They very generously offered to purchase banquet tickets for my wife and me. How cool is that? Everything about the project has been a pleasure.
I heard back about the poem I submitted last week. When I saw the e-mail in my INBOX I figured it would be a reject, but it wasn’t. It was a critique and an offer to reread the poem if I cared to make some changes and resubmit. I did — the points the editor made were all valid. No guarantee that it will be accepted, but I’m hopeful.
The curling match between Switzerland and the US was a real nailbiter last night. It went into an extra end and then the game came down to the final stone. The US skip had the chance to win the point and he overthrew the stone just a tiny little bit. Half a foot or so. I think I’m hooked on curling. I wonder if there’s a rink around here somewhere. Ha!
