jacobs rockette

i am currently sitting on a chair in gate 53 of newark liberty international airport being reminded to keep my baggage with me at all times and watching the sun rise lazily into a cloudless blood orange sky. you guessed it - it's time to go home. having just checked my watch take off is in exactly one hour, providing we set off on time.

this trip has been wonderful and i've bought so many lovely things. my main aim of this trip was to come away with a beautiful pair of decent sized heels and new york certainly did not disappoint with the selection! the first pair i truly madly deeply fell in love with were a pair from steve madden, but as my feet are so small they didn't make them in my size and the next size up were sold out in every branch we went to = major disappointment. but, then we went to bloomingdales and i spied the most beautiful marc by marc jacobs heels i think i've ever seen in my life. i tried them on and they fitted amazingly - it was evidently meant to be! i am a very very lucky girl.

another highlight of the trip was last night. again, i was lucky enough to be given tickets to the radio city 'christmas spectacular' show and it was absolutely wonderful. the show consisted of twelve main scenes, my favourite was the penultimate which was a nativity scene. it lived up to its name and was truly spectacular - even the three wise men had beautifully dressed up camels. wow is a word that does not give justice.

anyway, i've jut been told that boarding will begin in five minutes, so i'd best be off.

fact # 55
i would have liked to tell you the name of the aircraft i'm about to get on, but the boarding tunnel thing is in the way.
