On the Road Again

The trip I look forward to all year long begins today.

As soon as I jump into and out of the shower and slap some eye makeup on my tired eyes, I will slide behind the wheel and head for Westchester County, New York. When I arrive at PianoLady's door, we'll change into our going-to-the-theatre attire and her husband, the ever-patient-ever-kind-never-complain-about-our-annual-getaway-Karl, will take us to the train station.

We'll take the train to Grand Central Station, then a cab to the Marriott Marquis to check in and drop our bags. Then it's a three block walk through across Times Square back to Bryant Park to meet PL's friend Susan for an early dinner at the Bryant Park Grill.

Then—ah, so long-awaited this moment—we'll grab a cab and head for the Vivian Beaumont Theatre to see "South Pacific". A friend of PianoLady's told her this week that she had seen it recently, and it was the best thing she had seen on Broadway in her entire life. Wow!

Plans for the rest of the weekend? You'll just have to tune in later, won't you? The clock is ticking and I've got to get into the shower.
