The next morning, I woke up at 4:44, and felt much better. Sleep had helped me put things in perspective and remember that I got the main thing that I wanted, which was to see Alan acting on stage, in real life. That really was amazing and special, and worth the whole trip. As a bonus, the play was actually fantastic in every way, even aside from him. I got to see him up close, and he's very sweet and lovely, like I already knew. On top of that, New York had been fun, the people had been very nice, and I'd had an all round wonderful time.
I was wide awake, but it seemed odd to be prowling around at such an hour, so I went back to sleep, knowing that I wouldn't have to be packed and ready to check out until 11:00.
I woke up again at 10:30. Aaahhh!!!! Oh my god! I had reserved a car service car to pick me up and take me to the airport at 11:00 as well. It doesn't take all that long to pack, but still, it was a bit of pressure.
It all worked out though. I was picked up on time, and delivered to the airport five hours before my flight. Yeah, that's kind of weird, but I had to be out of my hotel room by 11:00, so if I wanted to do anything around town, I'd be hauling all of my luggage around. And that wasn't going to happen. Hanging out at the airport isn't all that bad, really. That's when I sat down and wrote all of this, although, in transcribing it onto the computer, I've edited it a bit.
The flight home dragged on forever (not entirely unlike this blog ;)), and it was great to be home.
Thank you so much to the family members who have given me various money gifts lately. That was a big help in letting this trip happen, and it was very special for me. I'm already starting to save for the next one, because I want to see him on stage again! :)
So there it is. My New York Trip.
