Girl! You are not an idiot! The guy who tried to cheat you was!!! Those things will come back to him in the end. And hey, now you know to be a little more aware in those types of situations. Every time I screw up or have a bad experience, I try to think of it as a learning experience. As long as I learn from it, then I really haven't lost out on anything.
I can only imagine how intimidating the crowds were! I went to NYC once, but I was 9 years old, so my focus was on different things. A couple of weeks ago I got a little freaked out by the crowds at the mall on 'tax free weekend'. It was the first time I've gone shopping at the mall in years. The fact that it was tax free weekend didn't help matters, which I wasn't aware of until it was too late - I had already told my nephew I'd take him to get some school clothes and see a movie. People would just walk straight toward us and not even attempt to move! I finally had to just put my head down and kind of barrel through. I was happy to get to the theater with all the little kids.
I would have been totally lost with the whole camping thing! It sounds like you had a good time though. Chalk one up for people with anxiety! You took a chance and got out there, and you did it for all of us. You go girl!
