First, I rented a car, because I don't trust my car as far as I can throw it. Renting a car involved finding the cheapest one, and checking 20,000 web sites and the whole thing was hair raising.
Next: On Sunday I will load up the car with bike, wetsuit, various electronic gizmos and chargers, yoga mat, running shoes, bike shoes, bathing suit, workout clothes, (and maybe some other stuff to wear...do people actually take all this crap on a PLANE when they travel??) and drive to my hometown, New Haven, for a reunion with an old high school friend, plus visit all my old haunts, maybe go back to my high school and terrorize the nuns, and visit my brother for the first time ever.
Tuesday night: Drive to .... CAPE COD!!! Vacation starts!! I'll be
Saturday: Drive to NYC! Meet friends, tool around town, hopefully find some place to stay Saturday night, the chairs on Times Square if all else fails,

and on
Sunday: Cheer friends on at NYC Triathlon!
Whee.
Oh, and also? Fall in love and lose 10 lbs.
Drive home Sunday night.
Return to work renewed and rejuvenated!
That, or move to Maine.
