I am back from our whirlwind trip to NYC! We had a blast! And boy, do my feet hurt from walking! We checked off almost everything we wanted to do- The Met, Guggenheim, High Line, 9/11 Memorial (right next door to our hotel), Wall Street, Broadway Show, Times Square. It was a phenomenal and much needed vacation! Best of all, it came out very budget friendly for us overall. We'd gotten a good deal on the vacation to begin with, but DH's $500 Visa gift card from work helped a lot. We paid for almost everything with that. The only things we paid for out of pocket were one dinner, the occasional soda as we we were walking around, my book purchase at Strand Bookstore (all half priced and 49 cent books), and our subway cards (not allowed to use prepaid cards for those). Everything else went on the card and we still have a little bit left! I'm exhausted today, but feeling very recharged from the trip.
Now that I'm home I actually have to go to the grocery store for basically the first time this month. I kept putting off going since DH was out of town on a work trip the first part of last week, so I wasn't trying to buy a bunch of food and then him not be home to eat it and it all sit in the fridge and go bad while we were on vacation. At least the grocery bill should be low this month!
@Jen and Ashwin, hope you're feeling better soon. Sorry about your boss. I know that's a terrible feeling to have someone say something like that to you.
