This one is for you Chelle....(my trips to NYC and SFO)

Ok update on my life....

So last week, I got the opportunity to go to NYC and San Francisco within one week. I have never done the coast to coast thing, but it was so much fun. Other than I had the worse luck with flying.

So REV'IT the motorcycle clothing company flew the Parts Manager Chad and I out to New York City. We flew out Tuesday morning, and as we were sitting in our seats, they announced that everyone has to de-board the plane cause Denver has grounded all flights due to weather. Chad and I were ok with that, cause we had a 4 hour layover. So that means that we have a 3 hour layover rather than a 4 hour. So an hour later we boarded our flight and it was the most bumpy flight I have ever been on. Even the flight attendant was really nervous when she made the announcement "the pilot has informed me to inform you that it is going to be this bumpy until we hit the ground (paused...everyone is laughing on the plane)...and I mean until we land." Then when we did land in Denver that flight attendant was M.I.A. ha ha they must have pulled her off to the side and gave her a little talk. So after we took off in Denver and on our way to NYC, we ended up having to do a hold on the plane (which means make circles till we have the clearance to land). So we were holding for about 30 mins and when we landed the airport was crazy busy. Even our driver (we had a car service) said he hadn't seen the airport as busy as it was that night. Good thing we only did carry on's and didn't check any bags.
So after we landed in NYC, the only thing I wanted to do that night was go get a famous NYC piece of pizza. So we did that, and not only did we do that, I found out that the place where we got pizza at was right next to the Empire State Building!!! So that was really cool.

The next day we spent the whole day at REV'IT, and in case you didn't see it on Facebook their office is in a great place. You can see the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Statan Island, Manhattan, and Brooklyn. It was amazing view. So we spent the day learning about new motorcycle gear. Then later that night they took us to dinner and a great little bakery. You know how I love my baked items. :) I was going to go to Times Square but I got too tired and just wanted to go to bed. But they did make we take the Subway, and that was pretty cool. ha ha
The next day was the flight home. They delayed our flight out, which means when we landed in Arionza, we were running to make our flight to Salt Lake. It was crazy, we got there just in the nick of time.

Then I was home just enough to go to work on Friday and Saturday. But on Saturday I left work an hour early to go get on a plane to San Fran.

My flight to San Fran. lucky enough had no problems other than it landed early but that was no problem really. It just means I had to wait a little bit longer for Mikey to come and pick me up.
Once Evan and him picked me, we went to our hotel which was the Ritz Carlton (fancy dancy). Then we meet up with some more people and went out to a great Thai resturant. Then after that, Evan, Mike, and I went back to the hotel to get ready for the Halloween party that we planned to go to. Mike and I dressed up as Zombies cause it was easy and we didn't have to worry about much to the costume. Evan dressed up as a doctor, cause that is what he is...so he didn't really have to dress up much either. It was nice for all of us.

Then we headed to the club, and danced our butts off till I believe 5 in the morning!! It was so much fun. I can not even tell you the words as to how much fun it was, but it for sure had to be the best time I have ever had in my life (up to date). Mikey really knows how to pick a great place to go dance :) Then after we left the club, we went back to the hotel room and chilled out till about 6:30 in the morning. Then we went to bed and didn't wake up till about 3:00 in the afternoon. Then Evan, Brooklyn, Michael, and I went to breakfast. I had the best pancakes I have ever had. mmmmm. Then Brooklyn, Michael, and I all went swimming. Then the 3 of us went out to dinner for some authentic Itailian. It was so good as well. Afterwards, we just went to bed, cause we had an early morning flight. So at 3:30 am Michael and I woke up and went to the airport only to find out that our flight was canceled after we boarded the plane. So Mikey being the VIP of Delta that he is, called and got us directly on the next flight out of San Fran. So other than our flight out the weekend was completely wonderfully amazing!!!

Ok so I better get back to work...but that the update on me. :) Now back to work.
