Subject: Next chapter of My Cleveland Adventure Author: Nan [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 11:05:07 09/18/03 Thu So, anyway, I have not been around for awhile as I am having technical difficulties. So, anyway, it was noontime on Sunday in Cleveland and time for VCG to go as she was driving all the way back to NJ. We all went down to the hotel garage and hugged VCG goodbye. Off she went as we all waved bye. There was a little sadness as we all realized that our fun weekend was coming to an end and that we would all be parting soon. We hung around a little more and talked until it was time for Hottie and her girls to leave about I think thst it was a little after 2:00 PM. Mabels got the hotel to let us have the room until 2:00PM, 2 hours longer than regular checkout because she is a sweetie and her son is one of the managers of the hotel. That was really nice of them to do that for us so that we could all visit a little longer. Well, we all went back to the room to pack and talk and get ourselves together and ready for travel. After we checked out, it was time for Hottie and her girls to leave as they had to drive back to IN. They packed up their car and we all stood around in front of the hotel once again hugging each other goodbye. Then they drove away as we waved bye to them. Things were getting sadder now as our time was growing shorter. Then Mabels and I went and sat in the beautiful lobby of the hotel and chatted for awhile in front of the little fountain. It was a wonderful surprise for me when Mabels' son and his girlfriend came back to the hotel, once again on his day off, he is such a sweetie, to bring us some wonderful cannolis. It was just the thing because I was starting to get really hungry again by this time and it would be late that night before I would eat a meal again. So Mabels and I enjoyed our cannolis. I should probably hit enter now so that the computer doesn't bump me out again. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Next chapter of My Cleveland Adventure Author: Nan [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 11:20:06 09/18/03 Thu I am still here. Great. I will write another message. So now it was about 4:00 PM and it was time for me to go as I had to catch a plane back to Boston at I think like 6:30 PM or 7:00PM or maybe it was 7:30PM, I cn't quite remember, but you have to get to the airport 1 1/2 to 2 hours ahead of time to check your baggage and check in. So Mabels and her son and his girlfriend walked with me into the mall and into the elevator that takes you down into the subway that takes you to the airport. When we got down to the subway, I tried to pay to go west to the airport, but the subway attendant told me that there were no trains going west that day because of repairs or construction or something so I started to kind of freak because I hadn't known about this and therefore now needed to figure aout a way to get to the airport. The subway people told me that there were shuttle buses going to the airport that day and where to find them but I was still freaking out because I was not familiar with Cleveland and had no idea where the stops were. This is where I was so glad that I had Mabels and her son and his girlfriend with me because they knew where the bus stop was. Thank goodness! I would never have been able to do it without them! They walked with me to the bus stop and waited with me there until an airport bus showed up. I was so thankful that they were there with me! Anyway, they helped me and my luggage get onto the right bus. It was once again so sad as we hugged and waved goodbye as I rode away on the bus. I was sorry to be leaving Cleveland and the fun weekend that we all had. Let me press enter again before the computer kicks me out. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: Next chapter of My Cleveland Adventure Author: Nan [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 11:31:46 09/18/03 Thu Hey, I am still here. I didn't get kicked out. Okay, I will attempt another chapter. So you think that everything would be all right as little Nan gets on the bus to the airport, right? Well, along the way, the bus driver kind of got lost as it was her first day on the job. What are the odds? So here I am once again thinking that I will not get to the airport on time. The driver got lost a few times and had to call in for directions to some of the stops. We must have had about 12 stops before we finally got to the airport. On the way to the airport, I passed a few interesting things. I passed a bar named Danny's Bar. Then I think that I passed a market a few blocks down named Cartwright's Market. What are the odds of that? I think that was out by 187th Street if I remember correctly. The streets are numbered from one to I don't know how many out from the middle of Cleveland, so you can imagine that it was quite a ways to the airport if I was out 187 streets from the center of Cleveland when I was in the hotel. Anyway, I noticed that the landscape of Cleveland felt somehow different than my native New England, but I couldn't put my finger on it until I was part of the way to the airport. I have to go right now but will try, try to get back soon. Where is the new website again? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Anyway, I said that it was great to have NAN back again. And its wonderful to hear the rest of the saga. Can't wait till you finish up with your travels back home again.
