Been anywhere this spring? Well yes we have.
And there will be some changes because of it!
I love New York City, and this trip didn’t dampen that for me. But there was certainly a part that could have been better. 
I always believe in ending on a high note, so let me plunge to the not so good. It’s time to make a change from my travel service. I’ve used EXPEDIA for a very long time. Many, many trips. And it’s always been pretty convenient. But there have been some hotel setups along the way that threatened to spoil those trips. 
I’ve come to understand that Expedia does a poor job in looking at the hotels. Certainly I don’t expect some guy in a Expedia hat and jacket to actually check out every hotel. But they don’t do a good job looking at what the readers call 4 or 5 star hotels—to say nothing about a 3 star. 
We stayed at the Hudson (356 W. 58th St.). Now come on Expedia! You can say boutique, snug and sexy if you want. But you should have said very, very, tiny. Listen to me now, I didn’t write small, I wrote tiny. Like a shoe box. A shoe box for your child. Man!
So small that you had to do mini pirouette shuffle with your hands and arms IN just to sit on the toilet. Your towel hung outside the bathroom near the door to the main hotel hallway! I’m talking tiny. 
When you got out of the bed, you had to skinny down the side of the wall to get to the bath/shower. Only one 110 outlet to plug in your laptop or iPhone. Yet they had a ironing board. (‘Course it blocked the exit door and the bathroom at the same time).
Yes, I did talk to the hotel before the trip started. No, they never used the word tiny. 
Yes, I still love NYC! 
The highlight of the trip that almost made us forget about the hotel: the Oyster Bar Restaurant in Grand Central Station. 
 Absolutely Great! 
Sit at the bar. 
Quick, hot, and nice service.
