Like night and day I was in New Jersey this weekend visiting my girlfriend. When I left on Thursday I took a public shuttle with a few other travelers. We went around saying where each of us was headed - one lady to Florida (to board a Caribbean cruise), another to Santa Barbara (apparently, getting there by car was difficult with all the rain), and another to Hawaii (she was from there originally, so she was merely going home). I was last, answering, "New Jersey," to which everyone in the van (even the driver) let out a groan. I think theyknew immediately how much I liked this girl :)My sister happened to be in the city this past weekend too, so we dropped in to see her. Also, My girlfriend's mom happened to cook a couple times; her food alone is worth the price of the plane ticket. This past weekend also happened to be the the coldest time of the year on the east coast. As was the case with my recent trip home, very seldom did the temperature get above freezing; and the wind chill was no punk. On the contrary, LA experienced one of its best weekends in months, with temps in the 70's and 80's. Traveling between temperature extremes is no easy task. What usually ends up happening is I'm ill prepared for the colder environment, and way over dressed for the warmer. Just last night I had to borrow a coat and hoodie from my girlfriend to go out, yet when I stepped off the plane this morning I had to peel off two layers and find a place for my jacket. It's all good though, as I've said before, a little cold keeps me grounded.
