Gahee and her friend Aileen flew to New York City Saturday morning. She called late afternoon on Saturday to say they arrived safely and were at their hotel.
This is her first trip to NYC, so George and I reminded her frequently not to: talk to strangers, give anybody on the streets any money, walk alone at night--the normal stuff "parents" would be concerned about. She promised.
I'm sure they were all smiles as they landed in the Big Apple. I think they hired someone to plan their trip and I know they were scheduled to see "Chicago" yesterday.
Gahee told me that Aileen was bringing an extra suitcase because she planned to do a lot of shopping. I can just imagine.
I hope they can enjoy some of the Thanksgiving/holiday festivities New York has to offer. No doubt they'll enjoy lots of good Korean food.
Meanwhile...George and Ali will stay in Columbia and I'll head up to Grayslake, Illinois to visit my folks for a long Thanksgiving weekend. I'm taking Amtrak and expect to have time to relax on the train.
Columbia feels like a ghost town with so many students gone for Thanksgiving break. Roads are safer; that's for sure. By next Monday, the students will all be back and everyone will gear up for end-of-semester exams, papers, parties, and graduation ceremonies.
