Travel Sucks
…the energy from me. All things considered, flying from Atlanta to Newark was relatively uneventful and painless. Our flight was delayed because of air traffic here in Jersey, but we passed the time away well. The boys played their gameboys and my daughter introduced herself to EVERYONE. To say that she is outgoing is an understatement as she would say hi and and talk to anyone who was within earshot.
All in all, I am doing okay, but I’m tired. Whether that is from the travel or the fact that I woke up at 5a and could not get back to sleep is unclear. Nevertheless, we are here and getting settled. Tomorrow is the big day and it will start for me probably some time around 4:30a or so. We have to leave the house tomorrow morning by 5a so we can get to the right place to get costumed and for me to get my makeup applied.
One change from an earlier post, it is CBS rather than ABC that is carrying the parade in addition to NBC. CBS will be broadcasting from Columbus Circle, which is closer to the beginning of the parade. Thus, if you are watching on CBS, look for me sometime around 10:20 and if you are looking on NBC look for me around 11a. I will say that my brother gave me instructions on how to maximize the chance I will get on TV on NBC (i.e., where to walk given where the cameras will be placed).
Have a great evening and wonderful day tomorrow.
Cheers,
Merle
ps. A belated happy birthday to my sister-in-law, who apparently has given up aging as if this birthday.
