Yes, some random stranger offered to take my photo, and I'm so glad she did! Thanks, Random Stranger! (Yes, I told her it was OK to tip the camera to get all of both of us in the shot.)
I have a confession to make: I knew I was going to have a great time in NYC for BlogHer10 before I even got there. Yes, it’s true. I’d decided before I even had my bags packed.
You can do that?
Yes, you can, and I do it before every trip I take.
Will things work perfectly? No. Do I expect them to? Absolutely not. Would I want them to? Of course! Casual or not, I am a perfectionist, after all.
Does any of this matter on my final evaluation of the trip? No, not in the least.
If the perfection of a trip decides my happiness, I’d never be a happy camper. If I never got to dip into my Bag o’ Plan B Tricks, things would be rather boring, right?
So, before every trip, I decide that I’m going to have a good time regardless of what the reality of the situation dictates. It’s my Travel Zen Mentality, and it’s worked like a charm all the years I’ve been traveling.
This trip was a little different, so I knew I needed to really take a full dose of it this time, because for the first time ever, I’d be traveling by myself.
Well, as “by myself” as I could be with thousands of people around me at any given moment.
The potential to think too much about that and all the What Ifs could eat me alive if I wasn’t careful.
I was going to explore NYC by myself, and I couldn’t wait!
