The latter remembered me from last year and even gave<span class=\"text_exposed_show\">\u00a0me a huge hug when she saw me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>When work was done, I was treated to an amazing steak dinner and some awesome conversation at Gallagher&#8217;s Steakhouse with a handful of colleagues from a PR firm. I also managed to squeeze in a walk around Manhattan. My hotel was very close to what is probably my favorite part of the city: Central Park. I made my way through the park, down to Times Square, and to a few other places. I managed to cover a whole lot of ground in a short amount of time.<\/p>\n<p>My supposedly-haunted hotel failed to deliver on the paranormal end of things, but was actually the quietest hotel in which I&#8217;ve ever stayed. It has no 13th floor, but has a church on the 5th floor. No, I&#8217;m not kidding.<\/p>\n<p>It was another adventure, for which I am grateful. I enjoyed the trip a whole lot, but I am glad to be back. Phoenix isn&#8217;t perfect, but it&#8217;s home and I&#8217;m thankful for it. There truly is no place like home.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1311\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a
