Well it looks like the rest of my summer plans are now in place. Next Friday I will be taking off again to the City and then in late July I will be heading to Southern California. I ended up finally making my reservations this morning. I was able to kill two birds with one stone since I was booking with the same hotel chain. There is nothing like Westin and the good thing is that the more you stay there the better deals you get. It helps being a preferred member and having one of their credit cards as well. It's usually hell dealing with reservation people but this hotel chain really does make it easy for you. Plus they will do all they can to get you the lowest rate. I assume it would be the same for Sheraton and W since they are all part of Starwood; however, I have never stayed at one of those. It could be that I stayed at a Sheraton many years ago. There for awhile it seemed like these trips were too close to coming back from Wyoming, but hey you only live once and these trips have been on my agenda since last summer.

For the past two years I have lived under the assumption that for me being a loner is just the way I am. I thought I had discovered a revelation by which I would live. I suddenly saw that most bad times I had ever had anywhere had to do with the company and not with the place. This never meant that I could not be around a group of people and have a good time. It never meant that I could not have a great time striking up a conversation with strangers and having a good time. In fact I found those to be benefits to the loner lifestyle. What I thought I had found was that fun for me was not being around one other person. In doing that I would be subjecting myself to not being able to do what I wanted to do when I wanted to do it. I know this developed because of a couple of bad relationships, but I thought I had truly convinced myself that this was always the life I wanted. So what does happen if suddenly you do enjoy doing things with another person? Does that make my whole revelation about myself false? That's one of those things I have to think about.

It means life is not static....maybe that was what you needed then. And now you are at a different stage in life and are ready to do things differently. You dont' do the same things now as you did when you were ten...why should it be different for any other period of your life?
Life is change.
I am so glad to see you opening up like this!
