"Freaky Friday Rants and Raves" 11-12

rant: I can't make up my mind if I should cancel or stay with my Thanksgiving trip to Texas. There are too many factors weighing in.

rave: Knowing that I am not the only person who is having holiday decision problems.

How about we stay off the politics this time?

Rant: People who complain about others who post messages that "aren't about travel" or are "about politics" and then post ANY message on a thread like this.

Rave: People who know what to wear wherever they travel.

Rave: Had a fantastic time cross-border shopping in Buffalo with 3 friends yesterday. Good bargains at the outlet mall, no major weather or traffic problems, and even the Customs and Immigration people were pleasant.
Rant: Moving to BC next fall means we won't be able to do our annual cross-border Buffalo shopping expedition, at least not next year.
Rave: Moving to BC next fall!
Have a great weekend, everybody.

Rave: I think I'm done traveling to VA for awhile! I've gone on 4 business trips there in the past 4 weeks...not fun. My traffic surveys (that I hired 40 people for) on Tuesday went smoothly...I'm SO relieved!

Rant: We have two weddings to go to tomorrow. Both at 7PM. One in NJ and one in LI. We told both that we would be there. How we are going to pull this off, I don't know. OH, and it's going to be in the 30s...why can't they make nice formal dresses that have SLEEVES?
