Oh How I Wanted it to be You...

Today I woke up with a sense of true accomplishment! Yesterday at work, I decided to glance again at our employee discounts for hotels in NYC, since when we checked prior to that, there was NOTHING decent under $400 a night, and Lord knows, I can't afford that business, or I'd just MOVE there already! :P But yesterday there were three hotels having one day sales, or 5 days sales, and we actually found three located IN times square for what we were looking to pay to rent someone's home or apt for a few days via the AirBnB website. So I sent the options to Chris knowing my favorite, but knowing it was $100 more, and when he researched them, he picked the same one, and I was thrilled!! So we finally have booked our room! The hotel is located at 70 W. 45th ST, New York NY, that is in the center of everything! It is unbelievable that we got this place with a discount that saved us over $400!! SO excited! Even comes with breakfast everyday! One less meal to have to figure out! In the pic to the right, it is the REALLY tall white building.

The Cassa Hotel just opened in August (last month) and has some really awesome consumer reviews! A few jerk-offs made some negative comments, but the good absolutely out weighed the bad for this place. It is gorgeous!
It even has rainfall shower heads and robes, "Oh you fancy huh, Oh you fancy huh, Oh you fancy huh?" :P

So needless to say, I think our trip is pretty set in stone, and ready! And we have 33 Days to go! I still am not sleeping well, I am just too excited, and the anxiety of picking the place and having everything planned and booked was overwhelming me, just because my excitement was exhausting! But now I can REST! Though now it seems I am even more excited than before, but it still seems surreal... How many people get to make their biggest travel dream a reality? I am sure there are many, but people like me who could barely afford food just a few short years ago, actually getting to travel. It is just shows that with hard work, positivity, good friends and good family, you really CAN do anything you set your mind too. I always have. And I hope that I don't lose that gift. Makes for a rewarding journey along this road we call life... Feeling blessed, hopeful, and totally thrilled about next month...And yes, this is a real picture of the counter in the hotel room :)
