Mom Violy and Carmina’s dining experience at Dean & DeLuca

  Mom Violy told me she wanted to order the Paella Negra from Dean & Deluca. Carmina suggested we dine in since we’d never really tried their main courses, always just getting takeout with the cream puffs . Mom Violy agreed, and we arrived about thirty minutes before the lunch rush began. The service was very slow, even though we had ordered ahead of time. They mistakenly brought out the Paella Valenciana , despite Mom Violy repeating the order three times to the person who took it. It turned out the cook on duty made the error, even though it was written down clearly.

Juggle your schedule while you're traveling

Every time I travel my friends always tease me because my agenda is so filled up with the dates on my calendar they say, how you can manage to squeeze everyone when you only have one month to visit.

My calendar is filled up from Monday to Sunday no time to waste time because when you visit your only have one month to spend quality time with everyone you know. The problem I have when someone is unable to make it for prior notice it is difficult to switch them with someone else because everyone is busy with work or family obligation. Sometimes I have to combine some of my friends at the same time as long as they know each other it is easy this way and you are not wasting time. I always plan ahead once I have already booked my airfare and know the actual date I will be arriving and returning back home.
