• The Hotel - The Westin Philadelphia. Super Swanky. Super Cheap (remind me to send a thank you card to Priceline). My days of staying in hellhole hotels in Cherry Hill, NJ are OVER! Yeah, I have to pay for parking. Yeah, we're downtown in Philly, but what a place to stay! Love it. Will take pictures.



• The Shopping. Not only will we be visiting all things that are South Street, but also we will be hitting the King of Prussia Mall. Look at these stores. Where else can you browse through Nordys, Neimans (where I hope to just lay my eyes on the Manolo Mary Jane and also the CLs), Nine West (Yellow Pump is on SALE!), Lane Bryant and Sephora. There are so many stores I'd like to hit - you know I will be packing the flats for this day. Heels will not be an option. Philly also gets their fashion well before Orlando so I'm hoping for a little fall fashion inspiration.



• High Tea. Reese loves High Tea, so we're gonna go check out high tea at one of the other swanky hotels in Center City.



• Philly Cheese Steaks. Yeah, I know - totally blows any diet, but you CANNOT go to Philly and not have a cheesesteak. I love Jim's Steaks & Geno's Steaks equally. Geno is one of the biggest sweethearts on the planet and the last time I was there, we got the ultra VIP booth INSIDE the joint. Unheard of. Jim's - well, nothing like having a cheesesteak on South Street and seeing a client's pic on the wall of fame! Where else can you get a decent cheesesteak BUT Philadelphia?? All in the moderation though. I will not be having anything else but salad the rest of the day.



• The Friends. Some of my closest friends are in Philly and seeing them is always a blast. They are some crazy folks (in a good way). Sadly, one of them will be going to the west coast for a wedding but we're probably going to see him on Thursday night before he flies out.



• Business matters. We get to see two of our top clients while we are there. JoeZ.'s album has taken off and his single was played Friday night on a MAJOR radio station. As for the other client, they are recording right now and it will be good to catch up, work on their PR stuff and have a couple cocktails. Don't worry - it's a balance of work and play.



• The Weather. While the humidity is Central Florida is downright suffocating, I'm excited for the cooler air. With cooler air and lower humidity - I get to experience two exciting phenomena - Fabulous Frizz Free Hair and Non-Melting Bare Escentuals Makeup aka Flawless Makeup. All of which translates into GREAT PHOTOS!



• The Cocktails. Okay, at risk of sounding like a lush, I really don't get to drink as much as I could. I'm always the designated driver but having a margarita with the gals, a glass of wine with the friends and some dancing, possibly.

There's lots more to do, but I think we're pretty much going there without much of a schedule and just having fun! That is, after all, what vacation's all about (well in my case - a working vacation).

Have a wonderful week everyone!
