everything will be alright

So, I've been home for almost a full week now, and it's about time I made a post about the trip. I'm gonna try to make a nice, long detailed one, breaking it up into sections, but no promises that it'll make any sense or be any good. XD

( Part the First: Philadelphia, Take One )

( Part the Second: Boston bound! )

( Part the Third: Philadelphia, Take Two )

So, that's the trip in a nutshell. It really was a fantastic time, and it was the longest time we've had together with neither of us working in, well, ever, maybe; during her grad there was so much going on then it didn't seem like free time, kinda, and it was longer than the time we had off for the wedding, which was also nice but, well, was very busy with things to do too XD. I'm still sad that it's over, even if I've been back for nearly a week. I keep doing that same old thing I always do, looking back, like how exactly one week ago I was sitting in the girls' apartment, probably reading a book or getting ready to hit the Wawa for supper, things like that. And tomorrow morning I'll probably be thinking of what I was doing last Monday morning, which, yeah, that will be a little sad, but I'll try not to. Work has been crazy, crazy busy so that probably won't be a problem anyway, heh.

I need to plan my next trip down, or I'd like to, since I love having a countdown and a fixed date in mind, but with the house closing at the end of the month and so much of our funds being tied up in that I really can't, not yet, anyway. I may pick a date that I'd like to go back and get a countdown for that, just on a possibility so I can have a date in mind, so maybe I'll do that. We'll see, but for now I should go and post the pictures before it gets too, too late, it's already going for 9:30pm, oops. Hope everyone had a great weekend and that I didn't miss too, too much while I was gone, I did try to read up on LJ during my trip but I didn't get to spend as much time here as normal, especially during the Boston portion of the trip. :)

At the office now, worked with Christine for ~4 hours earlier until she went home. Then I snagged some take-out (shh) and am now finishing up a few letters I want to fax out, and then printing out e-tickets, reservations, and the like in preparation for Friday's departure. This is going to be an awesome trip, omg, and relatively busy, at least by our (believeitup and I) usual standards. Not that we don't ever do anything; the trip to NYC where we got engaged was omg so busy, mainly due to some good-intentioned-but-crazy-as-heck friends who were uber busy trying to cram as much into their first trip to NYC as possible, haha. Which was fun, don't get me wrong, but near the end of that trip my then-fiancée and I sat out most of their events, especially the ones that took place before noon. XD

This trip, though, we've got a busy week in Boston: we get in via train on Thursday afternoon, and the convention starts on Friday afternoon. That will keep us more than busy (so much to try and attend - here's the schedule for example) until Sunday afternoon. Then on Monday night we have tickets to see the Boston Bruins destroy play the Buffalo Sabres, and then tickets to see Vampire Weekend in concert on Thursday night. Ok, there are a lot of days in between the game and the concert, but still, this is a lot of pre-planning for us. XD We're staying at the Hilton, I think, during the convention, which is nice and handy to the event location, but the last three nights we're staying at a swanky hotel to relax, which will be nice. It was originally two nights, however, once I saw that Vampire Weekend was rocking Boston that Thursday night, we extended it for one more night. :)

Then we train back to Philly on Friday morning and have the rest of the weekend to decompress from our big trip, and I fly back on Monday - it's Easter weekend so our office is closed, allowing me to stay for all of Sunday and to get back on Monday instead, which is a nice little bonus. :)

So, yes, back to work for me, shouldn't take too, too long to clue things up here, then to print my other things and back home. It's such a beautiful day out, it's a sin to spend most of it inside, but at least it's nice out. The extra hour doesn't hurt either, even if it's a pain when it actually jumps ahead at first, heh. Because I wanted to be in here this afternoon it meant me going to bed last night earlier than I have been some weeknights lately, haha, although that being said I've been better the last few weeks about that. Which only speaks volumes about how bad I was before, but shh, like I said, better now. :)
