My Travels Around The World
July 2019
Day 13 in NYC: Fort Tryon Park & The Cloisters; Harlem; Dear Evan Hansen
Tuesday, July 9. I did what I'd planned the day before and took advantage of The Met's 3 day pass to visit another museum. Since [...]
Day 12 in NYC: A day off in the East Village & Greenwich Village
The weather this morning was as predicted: light rain on and off all morning. I used that as an excuse to stay in and get [...]
Day 11 in NYC: Sun, 7/6 – The Metropolitan Museum of Art
I'd gotten a much needed 7 hours sleep, the most on this trip I think. I got the blog up around 9:30 and started making [...]
Day 10 in NYC: Sat, 7/6 – (some) Brooklyn and Book of Mormon
Yesterday was day 10 on the ground, 11 if you count the departure day which started as a red-eye flight. I was starting to feel [...]
Day 9 in NYC: Fri, 7/5 – Hudson Yards, The High Line & The Vessel; Wicked
I slept well, got the blog up and made my way out about 10am. I was meeting a friend for lunch and wasn't too hungry [...]
Day 8 in NYC: Thu, 7/4 – Roaming Manhattan
I had zero plans for the day when I woke up, around 6am I guess. The blog was easy to put together since I'd only [...]
Day 7 in NYC: Harry Potter & the Cursed Child
And that's really about all I did. It's actually "Cursed Child, Parts 1 and 2" which is the equivalent of doing 2 shows in one [...]
Day 6 in NYC: Ellis Island, Statue of Liberty, Hamilton
For some reason I woke up around 2:30am and it was clear pretty quickly I wasn't going back to sleep so I made some coffee [...]
Day 5 in NYC: Mon, 7/1 – Transition from conference to vacation
And I really do feel like that: my vacation starts NOW. Everything about the conference felt like work to me, although not in a bad [...]
Day 4 in NYC: Sun, 6/30 – The New York City World Pride Parade
What a day. It will be difficult to write about an experience of this magnitude concisely but I'll do my best. I'd thankfully slept until [...]

Day 3 in NYC: Sat, 6/29
What a day. I can't remember the last time I stayed up until 1am, but that's how this day rolled. With a service commitment at [...]
Day 2 in NYC: Fri, 6/28
Today was the first full day of the conference so no sight-seeing, except for the High Line, a very popular attraction which was the venue [...]
Day 1 in NYC: Thu, 6/27
I only slept about 5 hours, waking up about 5:30am. I had coffee in my room while I finished the blog, getting the photos done [...]
Departure: Sacramento to NYC – Wed, 6/26
I am happy to be in New York City finally. I planned this trip in early January and it seemed to take forever to get [...]
Pre-Departure: NYC coming up!
A week from today I arrive in New York City around Noon Eastern time and will spend a total of 17 nights there. This will [...]
