New York—Day 2

Got up and did some work from Carl and Jess’ home in CT.

We headed into town a little after noon with Carl in his car. His Cadillac’s auto navigation system was not working that well, so we were all over and finally made it to the South Seaport to go to TKTS. We got Phantom tickets ($62/ticket). Orchestra level about 20 rows back.



We then went shopping in that area—Abercrombie, Gap, etc. I bought two pairs of khaki pants for work at a great price! Also wanted to see Bodies (the show), but did not have enough time to see it. We had to leave and meet Carl.

We went and checked in to the Marriot Marquis at Times Square and met Blaine, Dasha, Jess, and Barbara (Jess’ mom) at the Hawaiian Tropic Zone restaurant. We gave Dasha and Barbara our Little Mermaid tickets because we wanted to go see Phantom.

It was raining, but we walked to Phantom. We really enjoyed it! It was a great show! Very well done! This is its 12th year on Broadway!

We then went to Planet Hollywood and shared and appetite and dessert and then back to the Marriot Marquis.
