And they’re off. This tour has gone so smoothly…something has to go wrong today.
I hope my students and the chaperones have had a ball; I know I have. Trying to have fun while on tour is a challenge for me, but my chaperones make it much easier to entertain the possibility. Great folks, they.
Saw Phantom on Broadway last night. While the Christine and Raoul characters were not necessarily to my liking (not happy when you can’t really tell a diff between the Christine and Carlotta voices), the phantom was once again very strong. Likey likey.
Today’s menu: Staten Island Ferry, shopping in Times Square, IMAX movie, Chinatown/Little Italy, Top of the Rock, then back home. Big day, big night, good tour.
Yay, it’s Finkday. But every day’s a holiday in old New York….

Yes I did see that, Suz — it was blue in honor of Autism month. On Good Friday, they had it lit up in green, pink and yellow — Easter egg.

Thanks Mave! I’m sitting here in our hotel room right now while M is still sleeping, trying to catch up on emails and posts and FB and everything. It was a great tour, and I’m glad to be on the FINAL final approach home. HA. See you soon! Love you!

Thanks, RD — I think I got like a 30-minute nap on the bus. Wow! It was beautiful weather, and I was proud of how everyone conducted themselves. Great chaperones.
