23 Days...and a 'Bucks Testimonial...

And the hotel is booked. After a few attempts, finally I wore Priceline down and we're staying at the super swanky Westin Philadelphia in Center City, Philly and yes, I know - even got some cash back!! Thanks FatWallet.com It's near the Italian Market (hello - maybe I can grab some fresh spices on Monday to take home), 1/2 a mile from South Street and the King of Prussia Mall is only right down the highway (about 20/30 min).

called with a discount code and they told me for the dates we were going that they could only book us at $289; online Reese found it at $266 and Priceline was oh so kind - $100 a night! William Shatner's not kiddin' - no mamby pamby request for this gal.

The only thing that sucks is that parking is $39 a day, valet or $28 self park - basically, I can get a valet day pass and come and go as needed or pay $28 each time I get a whim to wander. Umm.. Valet seems more economical. Now to map out the nearby Starbucks in proximity to the hotel.

In Starbucks news - has anyone tried the Blueberry White Tea - Delish! Yes, I know - tea. Unheard of for moi - but after you see what my coffee day was like this morning (pics are on the other computer), you'll see why I needed to switch it up a bit. It's light, refreshing and just has that added zing.

I should have gotten one for tonight - another long night ahead. These days of waking up at 5:00 and falling asleep at 12:30/1:00 a.m. is drivin' me batty. However, tomorrow, this time I'll be armed with my Venti Iced Blueberry White Tea instead of my normal latte whatever. Perhaps that will kickstart my day in the right direction...
