The Walkers: October 2010

So my sister-in-law Kara and her husband Kurt went to NYC with his job this past Wednesday-Sunday. Before leaving, Kara happened to get a phone call (last Monday) from a woman at Regis and Kelly, offering her two tickets to the show. Well that was a no-brainer! Come to find out, Kurt couldn't go to the show with her due to a conference with his work. Kara mentioned it to me and asked me if I could go. I decided that you only live once so I decided it was a YES (plus I had always wanted to go to NYC)! I made some phone calls and ended up getting a buddy pass from a friend.

Wednesday:

Arrive mid-morning
Kurt goes to work and we go to play
Hard Rock cafe for lunch
86th floor of the Empire State building
Rockafeller
Sight see / shops
Eat an overpriced dinner at a French restaurant that only takes American Express---LAME!

Thursday:

Get to Regis and Kelly at 7:30, wait in line, sit third row up to the left (facing Regis and Kelly), watch the show with Michael Kors, talk to Regis and Kelly during commercial break!
Decided Kelly doesn't eat/she works out a ton.
Eat at PJ Clarke's for lunch
Mackenzie Childs to shop
Naked Cowboy
Go to airport at 4:30, wait for flight on standby, forget that it's freakin' Columbus Day weekend, leave airport at 10:00pm to go back and stay with Kurt and Kara because there are no more flights

Friday:

Wake up at 4am to be at airport at 5am. Finally able to get on 6am flight...Hallelujah, thank ya Jesus.
Arrive in Atlanta at 9am and go straight to school to teach.

It was a fun time but I learned my lesson....NEVER FLY STANDBY UNLESS YOU HAVE NO WHERE TO BE AND ARE FLEXIBLE.
