And nobody guessed it correctly! Although I'd like to point out that I was correct on the color. I said it looked to be a steel grey. Isn't she gorgeous?! So now I really am in a conundrum... do I buy a ticket and pay the extra fee for pick-ups? Do I buy a ticket and hope there's a post-BF leftover sale? There wasn't one for 2019, but I didn't buy any tickets so it wouldn't have mattered. Do I hope to pick up one on the secondary? I am still in search of a good Rocket from 2019 so that hasn't worked out too well. Or do I just GO and get my own?
Yesterday I looked at the numbers and I can make it work since it's not until July. Nothing has to be paid for right this second. I even have a nice selection of hotels to choose from with varying price points, depending on how much I want to spend or how close I want to be in the thick of it all. What I keep coming back to, though, other than the stress and anxiety of the flight is...the zoos in the "area". I would fly into Louisville on Thursday but I wouldn't get there until about 5pm so Thursday is shot. I would be leaving for home about 1:00pm-ish so I'd need to be at the airport around 11am and the Louisville Zoo doesn't open until 10am, that's out of the question. Can I...am I capable of... going to Kentucky and do NOTHING BUT horses? I've never been there before. I enjoy visiting zoos and would want to. Zoo nuts like me plan vacations around visiting zoos. Would I be able to not visit a zoo while I was there and just do horses? I don't know. I really don't know. I haven't been to a new (to me) zoo in quite awhile, it seems. I think the last one was Bearizona and that was 4 years ago. <sigh> I know having a lot of different interests can be a good thing, but in this situation, it isn't. Even using an ECV I would need at least 2 hours at a zoo.
<sigh>
She really is beautiful, this Epona!! She's not a mold i actively conga but i do have two. The Oration and the JCP Appy. i used to have Party Time but she was tippy and she didn't "cling" to me like the Appy did. Man, i, of course hope you can come to Breyerfest!! But i understand you wanting to do the zoo, too! shan, here!
ReplyDeleteI really am considering it. I just have to deal with not going to the zoos and be "happy" with it. There's only 2 that are close enough to visit, but with having to leave so early on Sunday, I don't know that I want to give up a horse day, you know? If I could stay until Monday then I could go to both and be happy as a clam.
DeleteHeheh. i have just been "challenged" on the term "Happy as a clam", yesterday! "What makes a clam happy?" the challenger asked. But yeah! i hope you can both come to Breyerfest AND make the whole thing worth while!
ReplyDeleteI don't know which surprises me more...that you use "happy as a clam" or that someone challenged you on it after using it. I don't think anyone has ever asked me about happy clams after I've used it. hahaha.
