Plans are shaping up! Travel has been booked and reservations have been arranged! I am really excited to be returning to the Meatpacking District this year for my stay in NYC. It has great proximity to the Javits Center and all kinds of bells & whistles. Usually I stay with a friend but this time I decided to check-in to the Maritime Hotel. It has a fun design concept and {among other amenities} a rooftop cabana . I must admit, part of the excitement of NSS is being a big city girl for a few days before I go back to my simply wonderful small-town ways. It’s a shot in the arm and an exhausting endeavor all at the same time.
