I am currently in NY for a wedding I don't want to go to. It is on Halloween because it is cheaper to get married on a Monday in a Synagogue than it is on a weekend. Somehow the 31st of October was picked which I think is very sad and ironic somehow. It could have been a week later...
That aside, I am currently in amazement that it is snowing here. Apparently so are all the other New Yorkers, this is unusual it seems. I just find the conditions for me to be somewhere that I didn't want to be in the first place to not only be annoying but frustrating. This trip is going to be about 2K easy. I originally estimated 1K, but last minute our hotel reservation was mysteriously lost by the place we thought we booked. Last minute we end up in a Sheraton hotel in NJ near NY, Manhattan. I am paying 160 a night... fun. Gonna be here for 4 nights which is about $640 without tax and tip. This figure does not include food and transit.
So far we (keep saying we because its me and my boo) have spent like 200 bucks on food and 130 dollars on transit. This is only day 2... the figure for transit is going to take us all the way through to the end of the trip. The food we have to keep on the cheap now. We still have one more official dinner to attend which undoubtedly is going to be about 20 to 30 dollars a person. Ultimately if this was a trip I wanted to be on I wouldn't be complaining, but since it isn't I'm doing what I always do - complaining.
I just didn't plan on losing this much of my hard earned cash which I responsibly saved up for my discretionary spending. The saddest part is $1,200 could get you a a beautiful high class room on a 8-10 day cruise which includes transit, food, alcohol, tips and lodging.
I am currently in limbo at my job, I am not sure if I am coming or going.
