Ok...I will try to give the Reader's Digest version of everything that happened today. In it's simplest form it was No apartment...lots of luggage...finding Jen...5 Shades of Summer...trying to ditch luggage...MoMa is a no go...Hilton helps out...wrong way subway...right way subway...voice lessons times three...finally time to eat...long walk through a peaceful protest...pick up at Hilton...short walk to different Hilton...15 minutes of rest...checking out the venue...CVS grocery stop...time to rest.
Now to expand on some of the more interesting points. The trip to MKE, boarding, take off, and landing all went well (kids picked the wrong side of the airplane as Cathy and I had the view of the Manhattan skyline coming in, and the Statue of Liberty. As we landed Cathy turned her phone back on, and had an e-mail cancelling our apartment (no explanation). We immediately contacted Airbnb, and they were very helpful. It took a while to sort things out, but when all was said and done - they put us up in a hotel for the night, and we will be moving into a different apartment for the rest of the week starting tomorrow.
When we finally found a place to check our baggage for a few hours- we knew we were on a time crunch to get to the voice lessons - we made things even tighter with a with a two stop trip the wrong direction on the subway. The voice lessons went well - I'm hoping the kids will talk about what they took away from the experience when they post tomorrow. We checked out the walk over to the 52nd street project so that we are ready to go tomorrow. Now the kids are all getting some much needed rest so they are re-fueled for tomorrow.
