BACKROADS
WHETHER FOR A HOLIDAY of just a three-day-get-away, a stayover away from home at a hotel can be a total stress break. The LUMIERE HOTEL and CASINO in downtown St. Louis, Missouri was the perfect escape which doubled as a holiday gift for seniors who "wanted nothing." A room booked months in advance and a starter cash gift bag set up with bonbons, peppermints and a fanny pack for each was the beginning note to the surprise gift. With the "ditty bag" gift handed to each in the parking garage before setting foot inside, eyes were wide and jaws dropped lower with each step along the trail in the well laid out hotel side of the casino so that one can enter and not realize it's morning without wandering the floor in search of good coffee. Beautifully decorated and cost effective, a two night stay in a queen suite plus meals for three, plus the ditty bag treats and $50 each spending money set me back less than six hundred dollars. The player token card issued at registration was free with a provisional option for winning additional money or meals during the stay at their facility. Registration allowed them to direct any winnings to the name and number encoded on the card issued upon arrival. The room looked out over the pavilion of seats and greenery while also providing an awesome view of the arch and the Lumiere hotel spa next door.

Traveling coach – the good, the bad, and the ugly
I was running around like mad. The airport was huge and getting around the massive terminal was no easy task. Despite all my efforts during the last thirty minutes, the Emirates transfer desk seemed out of reach. I was steeling myself to missing my flight to the United States. This was my first transcontinental flight, and I was still getting used to the system. The transfer desk was a chaotic place. I hope in the ensuing years, Emirates has been able to resolve this issue. Passengers were milling around trying desperately to get the attention of the two customer service personnel. Finally, I was processed and was able to take the train to terminal 3 at Dubai International airport (DXB) from where my US flight was taking off. My Flydubai flight from Kathmandu to Dubai had been suddenly cancelled. I had to fly via India leading to problems of connections and my not having a boarding pass for my flight to the US.

Running away to run into myself.
I was a determined child laced with a forgetful nature. My library books were often late and my socks never matched. By the time I entered second grate, the school librarian eventually grew tired of my tardiness, so she handed me a book and said "because your books are always late, you will have to read a boring book this week."
