I'm not sure what you mean by, "hope the senses are continuing to tingle in all the good ways." My previous post was about the not-so-good ones going on.
Yes, we are going to see Fiona Apple---it is the highlight of the day/evening.
I finally got some sleep after last post. A decent amount for a normal day. For
this adventure, as quizzickle aptly put it, not as much. Because we don't know where anything is, we decided to get a cab to a breakfast restaurant a few miles away. We specifically asked for one that accepts debit cards (being Bipolar I've thought it best thus far not to own a credit card); the hotel said sure, made the call, a cab appeared shortly. We get to our restaurant, he tells us our fare (which was twice as much as I expected, and that was one-way), when I give him my card he says they do not accept debit cards. I told him the hotel said different; he adamantly said credit only and that no cab co. takes debit. Luckily there was an ATM machine close by that only charged $2 to get out cash.
The restaurant served about 10 diff. kinds of pancakes, & was delicious. But I had a hard time enjoying it between the near-"oh-****" cab issue and the steady stream of traffic out the window. I had a minor panic attack, took my med, called the cab and back to the hotel. I told the front desk, and they were as surprised as us; we all heard the guy ask specifically for a debit-accepting cab. They advised us to call the cab company and inquire (thankfully we had his card). Why the hotel didn't know certain companies accept debit and others don't (many are independent), I have no idea.
Luckily dinner, as well as the concert, are within walking distance. Tipping everytime the valet retrieves your car is plain annoying and in my opinion excessive,
Seeing as I'm thoroughly exhausted, cramping, etc., I am hoping to catch a long nap before dinner and a Fiona,
