having no downtown 6 train this weekend also didn't help

I'd really like to get out of the city somehow, but I have three shows (in New York) in the next three days. In the early part of the summer, I went to New Hampshire for my college reunion, the beach for July 4, and LA for some extremely fun medical appointments (and a trip to a Chinese buffet all by myself, which was notable in that I am a small person and all-you-can-eat buffets are rarely cost-effective for me, unless I have just been on a long flight on which they don't serve lunch). Since then, I'm pretty sure I haven't set foot anywhere outside Manhattan or Brooklyn. I miss the halcyon dotcom era of Priceline, when they used to sell vacation packages to whoever bid a few bucks, just to jack up their stock prices. I hear Tuvalu is nice. Actually, I hear no such thing, but I'm pretty sure it's an island.
