Back to Amagammy and then Home.
When I got back to Molly's house, Her Mom had come into town to visit. Heidi is a lot of fun, I often call her Zippy. Since Molly works so much Heidi and I headed to TJ Max to find so clothes for Molly and to pick up her laundry. I was suppose to go back to Mynor's house in the City but decided to stay with Molly and take the train back in to JFK.
* TJ Max with Heidi.
* Finding a totally cute hat that I wore the rest of the day.
* Having dinner with Heidi and Molly.
* Read on the porch.
The morning I had to leave Heidi took me to the Train Station and we waited for the train. Which Never came. So, I had to take the Jitney (or as most people outside The Hamptons call it The Bus). When I got on the Jitney I sat down right in front of Cynthia Nixon from Sex in the City. That was weird. The Jitney took me to Queens where I took a cab to JFK and then Flew home. My trip was super fun, I would totally do it again. It was great to see all my friends from Culinary school and Starbucks. I love them all!

Wicked Boston!
I really wanted to see Boston when I went to the east. I didn't really know anyone in Boston, so I put it out of Facebook to find someone to stay with. Turns out Mel lives in Boston. I worked with Mel in New York at Starbucks ( big shock, I know). I was a little nervous for 2 reasons, 1) I didn't want to drive in Boston. 2) I didn't really know Mel that well and had never hung out with her one on one. She is pretty scary being all petite, blond and perky.
* Finding somewhere to park in Boston with Mel.
* having her parallel park Molly's car on the left side of the road. I had never done that on the left side before.
* Walking her to work and hanging out on Newbury Street all evening.
* Reading in Boston Common.
* Dinner at Joe's American Bar
* Walking Mel to work again.
* Walking down to the Harbor.
* Going on the Self guided tour I downloaded to my Ipod. It was totally cool, You put your headphone on and it tells you where to start and where to go and tells you the history of Boston harbor.
* Not being able to finish my self guided tour due to rain and blistered feet.
* Having lunch with Mel.
* Buying a totally cute dress at H&M.
* Buying 2 more books.
* Walked around Fenway Park. Mel lives right next door!
* Meeting Mel for Drinks when she got out of work early.
* Realizing how much I like Mel.
When I left Boston I was sad we hadn't gotten to know each other sooner. Aside form my blistered feet, I had a fabulous time. Back to Amagansett!

Really?!? I'm just sayin...
In case you are wondering, you have to take a ferry from Long Island in order to get to Rhode Island. Being from Oregon I wasn't too familiar with Ferries. I got to the ferry early and found out I ordered my tickets backwards. I ordered my first trip from RI to NY not NY to RI. Smart! Luckily they didn't care and let me on anyway.
* When I got to RI I put the top down and turned up the JayZ and took off for Jan's. It was fabulous!
* I got to Jan's and shortly after Julia showed up. Jan is my Manager from Starbucks in Hyde Park and Julia was the Assistant. We had so much fun in Hyde Park, It was great to spend time with both of them.
* Picked up Jan's daughter Sammie from Camp.
* Pete (Jan's Husband) cooked us up a great dinner!
* Stayed up talking and listening to music.
* Delicious blueberry pancakes for breakfast.
* Laying on the beach and trying to play in the water. I don't really know how to play in the ocean since The Pacific is so darn cold!
* Totally sunburned the backs of my legs.
* Having dinner and shopping in Newport. Julia and I both ordering the Fisherman Platter and having enough for for 4 people.
* Was slightly devastated that Rhode Island doesn't have a Starbucks mug.
* Complained about Starbucks, we just couldn't help ourselves!
* Laying on the beach again.
* Watching the Life Guards save stupid people. It was totally Baywatch!
* Going out for drinks and having them try to find me a man.
* Dancing with Jan to Tupac's California Love.
* Having a lazy last morning with Jan and Pete.
* realizing I was sick of traveling.
I really miss the Starbucks I used to work at in New York. It was great to see Jan and Julia and get to spend so much time with them. Next stop...Boston. Wicked!

Yeah, The Hamptons!
On July 5Th I woke up late and hungover. I was suppose to catch the 8:40 train from Poughkeepsie but forgot to put gas in the rental and ended up missing it by 20 mins.
I had to catch the 9:40 train, arrived at Grand Central at 11:20am, had to be at Penn Station to catch my train to Amagansett at 11:40am. Took a cab to Penn Station, Had to figure out which track my train was on. Ran all the way there and got to an empty seat with about 2 mins to spare. Had I missed my train to Amagansett I would have had to wait till 10pm to catch the next one.
* Sitting next to a chick from Oregon and having her give me pointers on train travel.
* Seeing Molly and both of us almost crying!
* Meeting everyone at Jack's ( the cafe she manages).
* Seeing Ralph Lauren and his Family buy coffee.
* Seeing Billy Baldwin and Ralph Lauren drinking coffee. Bizarro!
* Having drinks and listening to Poster Child at the bar across the street with Molly and her boss Jack.
* Seeing Ethan Hawke at the bar.
* Molly's friend Justin is the Chef at the Meeting House, He made us some delicious rice, scallops, Shrimp and chicken! I would say one of the highlights to working in the food industry is all the free food and getting to stay after closing for drinks! Awesome!
* Molly Putting me to bed because I could hardly keep my eyes open.
* Spending my day in Southampton and getting a Hamptons Starbucks mug.
* Read another book.
* Dinner at another fancy place
* Running on the beach at night with Justin, Molly and Adam and walking in the water.
* Laying on the beach.
* Hanging out at Jack's and reading my book.
* Having my laundry done at the local laundry mat.
* Ethan Hawke talked to me. We are totally BFF now!
* Eating Chinese food on the beach with Molly and Summer Dog.
* Eating Ice cream with Molly in Molly's bed in the middle of the night.
After being at Molly's I headed to Rhode Island, Molly let me borrow her convertible Beetle and her GPS. I really think I got sick of my camera about half way through the trip. I don't have very many more pictures!

Hanging in the HP!
I really think I used almost every form of transportation on this trip!
* Finding my way to Grand Central from Roosevelt Island by myself.
* Taking a cab to the Rent a car place and having the Cab driver ask me a highly inappropriate question that I am not even sure why anyone would ever think that of me.
* Renting a car all by myself!
* Going to the old Starbucks and seeing a few of the people I used to know there.
* Seeing Kevin!!
* Having Kevin fill me in on all the crazy drama from the company he works for. It was CRAZY!
* Went to visit Julia (my old assistant Manager) who now has her own store about an hour away. So much fun to see her!
* Went to Kevin's night club and was treated like Paris Hilton. He knows I love that!
* Leaving the Club when the sun was coming up, probably the only good reason Kevin and I shouldn't live near each other.
* Went to Breakfast or late Lunch.... :)
* Went over to Hyde Park to see Eileen at Starbucks.
* Going to the City to watch fireworks.
* Going to Duplex and singing a long with the piano player.
* Due to the drinks we had and me being sad to leave Kevin I was overly emotional all the way home. Sorry Kev! :)
Kevin is another one of my friends that I never see and never talk to but when you put us together we pick up right where we left off! Sadly I don't have pictures from this part of my trip, we were too busy I guess to take pictures!

NYC!!!
My stop in NYC to see Mynor and Melanie. When I arrived in at JFK I called Melanie and she told me how to get to SoHo to meet up with her.
* Taking 2-3 hours to get across town.
* Sitting in Traffic on a bus for at least half of the 2-3 hour commute.
* Figuring out the Subway system with a giant suitcase that was just too big to lift over the gate but a little big to push through the walkway. Leaving me with bruised legs.
* Seeing Melanie's tiny apartment and learning how much she pays in rent and feeling really good about living in Tori's basement!
* Having coffee with Melanie and calling Mynor to meet up with us.
* Getting to see friends from school and realizing how much they mean to me.
* Seeing Mynor's Apartment, and learning about Roosevelt Island.
* Having Mynor carry my bags for me and pay for my Subway pass. Such a gentleman! Mama Mendizabel would be proud!
* Going out to have Belgium fries with Mynor and his roommate.
* Wandering the city all day like tourists.
* Eating awesome Chinese Food in China Town.
* Taking a picture of the JayZ Rocawear add in Time Square (I am a little nerdy like that!)
* Having Pink Berry.
* Dinner with Melanie and walking all over the city to find it!
It was the perfect amount of time with Mynor, if you know the two of us we drive each other crazy! Now off to Hyde Park!
