Not two weeks after leaving her in Vancouver, Gaile came to visit me in New York. My first visitor from home. A weekend filled with good food, great design (she's even more a design whore than I am, in fact, she's a pro), and much much more.
During the days, Saturday and Sunday, I took Gaile through SoHo to all the furniture and design stores. For her it was a great experience - brands that are only available via catalogue in Vancouver have entire showrooms here. Our evenings... Saturday I treated us to a night at the Time Hotel in midtown. Sunday, we got dressed up and went to Sushi Samba on Park and then to the lounge at the Hudson Hotel near Central Park.
If I didn't do a good job of wooing her I certainly had some help. First, after a week of solid rain, we were blessed with blue skies and no humidity. Then, on two separate occasions we meet total strangers who tell us how easy it is for interior designers to obtain work visas and move to the states... here's hoping!
