A whole year ago my husband and I failed miserably at an attempt to cash in on our best charity auction item to date. We won the bid to visit Andy Cohen at the Bravo clubhouse for a taping of his talk show Watch What Happens live!
Well I say failed because my son fell ill and I raced home to take care of him, missing our scheduled time to see the show. But the charity and the very gracious Bravo team extended the privilege. So here we are a year later in NYC.
So the hubby and I just landed at Laguardia airport. We had two hopes as we checked in at St. Louis airport. My husband's wish, "please let there be an option for an upgrade." My wish, "please let there be good magazines on the shelves."
There was no upgrade available so I suggested to my husband that we buy the one day pass to the Admiral's Club, we did. Going through security proved to be a slow and necessarily arduous process. We smiled and complied to the end; but I thought I wouldn't have time to shop for mags; and my husband thought he wouldn't get the chance to try the Admiral's Club. We prevailed.
I was fortunate enough to get an Ebony with Ms. Bravo herself on the cover, NeNe Leakes. I also got two St. Louis specific mags, great research for a hopeful socialite. My husband got his free Bloody Mary, and I was even able to join him when I checked at our gate and saw that boarding hadn't begun.
Our fabulous flight to NYC ended with my husband suggesting we go to the Admiral's Club again instead of rushing out of the airport. It is 3p on a Wednesday, my son won't be done at school until 7, and we don't head to the Bravo clubhouse until 10p so why rush.
The Admiral's Club is awesome but the one at Laguardia is better than awesome. Can you say marble steps people and a beautiful view of the Manhattan skyline. Life is truly better than good for this girl from the west side of Chicago. Let's hope it gets better once we see Watch What Happens live with the Jersey Shore ladies as the guest.
