There was a news item in the NYTimes today about a woman who lovd the Carlyle Hotel in Manhattan and spent her last 10 weeks there, in a suite booked by her family for her last fight against terminal cancer. She apparently had hospice care, but could still go down to the bar and walk in Central Park.
So, with mortality and morbidity aside, I wonder where I would like to spend my last 10 weeks, if money and care were no object. I think, if it were spring ito summer, I would want to be at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, WI--great porch with rocking chairs, a nice lighthouse in the distance, lots of fudge to eat. Quiet, relaxing, pretty. But if it were fall into winter, I would go with NYC--the holidays in town are the best, as are the leaves in Central Park at this time of year. Not sure which hotel, but the Carlyle is too uptown for me. Maybe the Algonquin.
How about you?
