I get in my car, at daybreak, drive 3 hours. 
  
Then, public transit to NYC.  Eat Thai or Szechuan, for dinner.  Somehow sleep?  (Yeah, right.) 
  
Early afternoon, on the next day, I meet Mistress Tran for the first time!   All say she is more breathtaking than her fotos. OMG! 
  
This is making me crazy!  
  
I will be a crumbling mess before I enter the Fortress.  What then?
