I have transitioned, at this point in our trip, from Apple to PC. Moving on from Valerie's charming apartment, I now find myself in the equally charming apartment of the Caitlin variety. The difference? Location, location, location. Going from uptown NYC to outer Pittsburgh is an interesting experience. It's so green here, with the river just out the window and what seems like dog shows on the lawn. The flight, however, was not so pleasant. First, it was delayed an hour. Then we were sitting on the plane for about 30 minutes before they finally explained why we weren't moving yet. The brilliant people at JFK airport decided to have two working runways during the busy afternoon time: one for landing and one for taking off. So we were twentieth in line to take off. Bad enough? Oh no. The two runways crossed. So they had to alternate. It took us about an hour to take off. But on the bright side, it was a small plane and I got to walk from the outside up the stairs into the plane, which is something they always do in the movies but I have never done. Which I can't say anymore. Anyhoo.
Quick time warp back to yesterday...
The plays were AMAZING. The costumes for The Lion King were even more amazing than I expected. Just everything was breathtaking. Elizabeth and I actually cried a little at the beginning, which we thought was silly and blamed on female issues. But then we spoke to Valerie about the play later, and she disclosed that she cried at the beginning as well. So either it's normal, or we're all insane. Wicked was equally wonderful, with really good acting. Glinda was hysterical. And there were some twists to the play that I was not aware of and was actually extremely pleased about. Aside from that, we went to the Empire State Building (which they must make ridiculous amounts of money off of because their prices are practically robbery for an elevator ride), had more good food, and had one more good chat with Valerie. And so, dear peoples, that's all I have to say about that.
Did ew know...?
Thinking is hard on an empty stomach, but always dangerous.
Thank you for choosing Lod's Little Tidbits, and have a nice day.

Well, at last you've seen a broadway play. I trust the Shakespaere Festival compares favorably, although I'm guessing the stage is much bigger. Another milestone!
It sounds like thus far everything is meeting/exceeding expectations! Glad to hear you've made it to caitlin's. (How come your sister isn't writing on hers?)--not that your blogs aren't wonderful enough!!..s'lait vie...i think that's how you spell it!when is the next plane ride??...
Next plane ride is on Tuesday...fun stuffs. Hopefully it's not delayed too much this time.
How is Caitlin doing? I tried to email her a couple times after she first moved but she doesn't check email apparently.
Does Elizabeth realize that her blog is set to invitation only?
