The World Above

I hate it when you can't get enough sleep and not even winning the lottery will make you happy until you do. I've been in a wretched mood for the last 24 hours, partly because I had to leave New York and partly because planes add to the tiredness of not sleeping good for 3 days. Incase you've been biting your toenails in anticipation, I'll give a little update on our trip. The highlight for me was the Little Mermaid on Broadway because it was magical. The whole show was splendid and we got to meet Drew Seely who plays Prince Eric. A little background on Drew Seely since you probably don't know who he is: He is the main character of "Another Cinderalla Story" (that abc family movie) and he co-wrote "Getcha Head in the Game" for high school musical AND played Troy in HSM the concert that toured the US a while back. So he's talented. More importantly, he's adorable and I love a man who can sing and dance. Another highlight was the food. Another highlight was Yankee Stadium. Obviously we didnt get to go to a game, they are at the Angels now, but my friends were kind enough to make the trek to the Bronx for me and it was wonderful! We did way more walking than my feet would have liked and it was a slam packed 3 days, but it was just as enjoyable as the last time I visited. Sure all the sites looked the same, but I just like traveling in general with people that I like. I love the city. Would I ever live there? Maybe if a kick awesome job required it. But I don't think I was made for big cities such as that. Some people are. Laura is. We saw someone we knew from Gaffney in China town. The airport guy checking our luggage at Laguardia was from Spartanburg, and two guys beside us at our cute lunch spot was talking about the serail killer! So I really didn't feel too far away given those activities. I also got to have dinner with Bickell and have lunch with Brandon and Ansley who live there now and who I rarely see. That was swell.

Getting back to the "real world" after a trip is really really hard. Especially on a small amount of sleep and when your legs still ache pretty badly. Tonight will be another late night, as I am going to see Harry Potter at midnight and I simply cannot wait. And after 2 weekends off, the summer marriage tour picks back up again Friday. All for now.
