My daughter in New York City singing with Gulf Coast Youth Choir.
Fun outings included singing at Queen’s College, seeing the play Wicked on Broadway, riding the Subway, visiting Time Square and Central Park and riding the Ferris wheel at ToysRUs!
Packing tips when traveling:
1. Make sure not to bring any sharp objects like scissors, trimmers, or nail files. They will be confiscated at security screening.
2. Do not pack liquid or gel substances in your carry on. Security screening will also confiscate.
3. Check the airline baggage rules. It can be very expensive if you over pack.
4. Rolling your clothes can help you pack more tightly.
5. Pack a few shirts per one pair of pant or skirt. Try to bring items that you can mix and match.

“That was a memorable day to me, for it made great changes in me. But, it is the same with any life. Imagine one selected day struck out of it, and think how different its course would have been. Pause you who read this, and think for a moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns or flowers, that would never have bound you, but for the formation of the first link on one memorable day.”
Charles Dickens, Great Expectations
“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.”
“Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there’s a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see.”
~ Helen Keller 1880-1968
