Well, the trip back was not nearly so frustrating as getting there. Monday was a nice, calm day with good weather. We slept in a bit, then checked out of the hotel and stored our luggage. We stopped at the Broadway New York store where I got an Equus magnet for my fridge at work (now proudly displayed towards the top left corner between Evita and Passion), had lunch at the Westway Dinner (the #1 dinner in New York dontcha know!), and then hopped onto the subway to the Village. We finally stopped at the NYU bookstore after two foiled attempts on our last two trips and my companion got some gifts and other memorabilia, and then we went to Strand where I found a lot of good psych books that I want for my private practice library whenever I get my own office. Of course, I also want to read them, but God knows when I'll get the time for that. Instead of lugging the books back with us, my companion actually had the great idea of stopping at the FedEx store two blocks away and shipping them back home, which we did. We're still waiting, hopefully they'll arrive tomorrow. We then walked all the way back to the hotel (seriously, I got more exercise in those four days than I have all year), stopping for coffee at the Intercontinental. By the time we got back it was already 4, so we got our luggage, hopped in a cab, and made it to LaGuardia around 5:30. There were no disruptions this time, we got checked in and went through security, sat in the very nice Delta Shuttle terminal (seriously, all airports should have waiting areas like that), and our flight left on time. It was rather bumpy, probably due to all the snow over Indiana, but we made it, got a cab, and got home by 9. I was able to watch Friday's Top Model on the TiVo (I was so pulling for Marjorie, it was sad to see her go, but she needs to get a grip. You can tell she's European though with no hangover after the massive amount of wine she had). I've been catching up with work and school ever since and am finally about caught up, just in time for the final stretch of projects. We've got Porgy & Bess at the Lyric on Sunday, and then Lulu next Sunday, then I've got Sarah Brightman on the 4th and I need to get Mame tickets. There's no slowing down.
