*whines* My elbow hurts Someone hit me at volleyball last night. And I'm bruised At least we won! Woo!

Now. Question. NYC is EXPENSIVE. So, I'm feeling the tightening of my budget. Granted, I have the money. But I'm saving for a dang car. Now... do I take a trip to LA? I won't have to pay for much besides the plane and food. But still. It's another trip. Yay or nay?

Definitely yay Shannon, you can check out the place before moving there.

Now I won't get that song out of my head for sure:

Shannon- well it depends on a lot of things. On the car you want to buy, on when you want to buy it, on whether you find a cheap flight or not, and so on.
Question NYC-related: where did you book the hotel? And how much is an average room? I don't mean the Plaza.

The car - there's actually a lot of things that go into this. Because when it comes time to buy it, I have to decide if I want to put my entire savings in to the downpayment or just do a little and keep the rest as a savings for LA. It's all very confusing.

And flights to LA are like $250. So, not bad at all

NYC - hotels are RIDICULOUS. We ended up at one that was $130 a night. And that's only because its waay uptown. So much more expensive the more midtown you go. If I had been alone, I'd just stay at a hostel or something. But my mom wants things like a private bathroom *rolls eyes*

Shannon- that's what I thought. Some people my mom knows have an apartment in Manhattan, maybe renting would be cheaper. I have to look into that.

Katka- chances that I'll go to NY sooner or later are, like, 200%. Chances of going when you're there right now are slim. My best friend will talk to her parents and let me know, we'll see. I'm not giving up. Also because it's so much cheaper than in the summer, with the 400€ saved for the flight we could pay more days in a hotel/hostel/under a bridge.

Hi

What's up with the title?

Shannon: I would say go, but it's probably because I'd love to go to LA someday myself too

I had a class how to learn to give a presentation and we had to give a short presentation ourself and the teach said my head doesn't belong on my body Apparently my head is all enthusiastic, while my body isn't

I have some kind of family in Manhattan. If only I could stay there... Lol.

Katka - before NY. In like a month, I'd be going to LA.

Val - see, if you're sharing a room it's not so bad at all. I'm paying for both me and my mom so it just seems like soooo much more.

Yeah. Plus a hostel would be even cheaper.
I don't know. I don't wanna get my head all up and then get crushed.

...who am I kidding? My head's already there. Gone. Bye bye.

ETA: Denise- That's funny. There was this Scrubs episode where JD dreamt of being a Floating-Head Doctor.

*nods* In terms of my cheap mind, a hostel sounds fabulous. Though, I do enjoy that we have real beds and our own bathroom

Denise - that's so funny

It was kind of weird to hear that though. But we all had to record it, so maybe I'll get what she meant when I look back on it.

Shannon, don't you wish it was April already

I'm not really a fan of hostels- been both in London and Crete and it wasn't the best experience of my life. But if it can get me there, that's fine by me.

Denise - I doooo! Though, if I do decide to go to LA, that will make the time go by even faster But I really can't wait. It will be a blast.

Not to rub it in to those who can't go
